This commemorative First Day Cover marks 50 years since Concorde took to the skies on its first commercial flights, one of the most iconic moments in aviation history.
On 21 January 1976 at precisely 11:40am, Concorde entered service simultaneously:
British Airways flying from London Heathrow to Bahrain
Air France flying from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Rio de Janeiro
A remarkable feat of coordination that symbolised a new supersonic era in global travel.
This beautifully designed cover celebrates Concorde as a supersonic icon of the 1970s, an aircraft that reshaped globalisation by defeating the barriers of time and distance.
The stamp set features 8 stamps showcasing Concorde’s extraordinary journey, from “Pre-Production Roll Out” in 1971 through to her “Final Farewell” in 2003, including key milestones such as the aircraft’s first and last flights.
The cover is officially postmarked at Heathrow on 21.01.26, exactly 50 years after Concorde’s historic commercial debut.
A standout piece for aviation enthusiasts, Concorde collectors, and modern philatelists.
