50 years since Concorde's first commercial flight, memories linger on

The world’s first supersonic passenger plane, Concorde, made its maiden commercial flight 50 years ago this month on 21 January 1976. Its delta-wing design and drooping nose made it instantly recognisable, and although it went out of service in 2003, it is still remembered to this day.
