Speedbird by Simon Atack.

Unquestionably the most beautiful commercial aircraft ever to enter service, during 27 years of flying passengers supersonically, Concorde earned a unique place in aviation history. To watch this remarkable aircraft thunder down the runway at Londons Heathrow airport, with afterburners belching flame in a crescendo of deafening sound, but for her distinctive airline livery one could be excused for thinking a mighty warbird was scrambling. Yet aboard, a hundred passengers, relaxing in sumptuous comfort, are looking forward to arrival in New York effectively before they left - such was the speed of this remarkable airliner as she travelled westward faster than the sun.

This edition of 500 prints was due to be signed by Captain Mark Walden. He had signed 40 of the prints and was due to sign the rest, but was tragically killed in a stunt plane crash days before the signing was to take place. The prints signed by him are now sold out, but the rest of the edition were instead signed by Captain John Tye.
