40 Year Anniversary of Concorde On this day in 1976, Concorde made her maiden commercial flight when 2 Concordes departed simultaneously at 11.40 am from London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle.  No other plane has been so widely admired as these planes particularly with royalty and the stars.   Sadly these plans were retired in 2003.
