Mini Concorde, British Airways
 The Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde supersonic transport (SST) was the more successful of the only two supersonic passenger airliners to have ever operated commercially (the Tupolev Tu-144 being the other). The development programme was a product of an Anglo-French government treaty, with only 20 aircraft built. The costly development phase thus represented a substantial economic loss. Air France and British Airways were subsidised to buy the aircraft by their governments, while other sales were blocked by the 1973 oil crisis and competition from the Boeing 747. Concorde made large operating profits for British Airways for much of its service life. . Features Specifications Length: 8 ½” Wingspan: 3 ½” Scale: 1/288 See Also Product SKU: SM728-BR
