(4 Dec 1977) Since January, 1976, Concorde has been flying a regular service to Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. Now Concorde has reached another milestone in its history with the inaugural flight of the transatlantic service to New York. ® From Movietone's archives we take a look at some of the aircraft that in the past pioneered Civil Aviation, such as the 'Comet', the first passenger jet service, started 25 years ago, between London and Johannesburg. ® Earlier in November the Queen and Prince Philip arrived at Heathrow in Concorde, having flown from Barbados in a record time. It was Her Majesty's first trip in the supersonic plane. ® Concorde's inaugural flight to New York left London Heathrow at 10.29 and 3 hours 23 minutes later touched down at Kennedy Airport. The Air France Concorde also on it's first flight to New York, arrived just before the British Airways craft.
