Concorde at Farnborough Air Show 1970
This is the only image ever photographed of a Concorde flying at Mach 2 (1,350 mph). It was taken from an RAF Tornado fighter jet, which only rendezvoused with the Concorde for four minutes over the Irish Sea. Note also that, at 60,000 feet of altitude, passengers could see the curvature of the Earth.
