EAGLE AND CONCORDE...

Copyright relevant owner

Got this great book in a charity shop yesterday for a mere £2, having already bought its companion volume some years before for a discounted price, either in WHS or perhaps The WORKS.  (Why can I no longer seem to recall things the way I used to?  Very annoying.)  Incidentally, the 'aged' look of the logo is the way it was published, not the sad result of neglect. Take a look at the page below of the CONCORDE.  I bought the CORGI TOYS model in 1969 or '70, at which time I was only 11 or 12, so to discover it had appeared in a comic when I was yet a mere 4 years old, 6 years before the supersonic jet's maiden flight (though it didn't enter com-mercial service until 1976), came as quite a surprise.  (After all, that was nearly two-thirds of my life away at the time.)

Of course, my adult self knows that these things spend years (decades even) in development, but when you're a kid, you tend to think that anything 'new' has just popped up fully-formed and ready-to-go, which was obviously my impression back in 1969.  And some impressions are hard to shift, hence my recent surprise at seeing how far in advance the Concorde had been announced and even named.

Having said that, I have a vague recollection of seeing (years after the fact) either a photo or an artist's impression of a couple of supersonic jets (one was Russian I think) which bore a strong resemblance to the Concorde, but preceded it by quite a number of years.  The other one was probably an 'embryonic' Concorde when the idea of supersonic flight was first being developed.  (Perhaps the BRISTOL TYPE 223 SST.)  I should still have the mag or book it appeared in, and when I rediscover which one it is, I'll add the page to this post.

And that's my own little Corgi Toys Concorde (replacement) below.  Ain't it a beauty?!  (Go on, humour me.)
