Celebrating 50 years

of the first commercial supersonic flight on the world's most famous aircraft

Travelling faster than a rifle bullet, Concorde flew passengers between London/ Paris and New York in just over three hours. Heads of State, royalty, pop stars, millionaires and business people were amongst those who enjoyed the unrivalled days of supersonic flight. For many it was about the whole experience of luxury flying. For others it was a means of making transatlantic trips as fast as they could. Fly in the morning, back in the evening. Never before or since have people been able to land earlier than they'd taken off.
Its pointed nose, slender fuselage and delta wing gave it an appearance like arrow pointing at the horizon. One could not forget looking at the sky seeing the amazing sight of Concorde’s unforgettable silhouette.  

   

 On 26th March 2019, professionals from across the insurance market and beyond will come together to celebrate what is for many, the most incredible achievement in aviation travel. Join us for a magical evening of supersonic memories, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Concorde’s first flight. 

 Book your seats now - Concorde will be taking off soon

Whether you had the priviledge of travelling on this incredible aircraft or you always wanted to but never got the chance, we've brought together, for one night only, a team of amazing people who will share their personal memories of those historical days of air travel. Plus you will be one of the first to see a very special film made using specially shot footage and new special technical affects.

 

 

Welcome to the Spirit of Concorde. 


 

During the evening you will be treated to a wonderful drinks reception, followed by a sumptuous three course themed silver service dinner, inspired by the food actually served onboard Concorde, as well as unlimited wine, beers and sift drinks all evening. You'll hear from our cast of expert speakers, ranging from Capt. Mike Bannister and Concorde's Official Photographer, Adrian Meredith to stories from those who travelled onboard the aircraft.


We've also teamed up with Rémy Martin to serve you something very special with your dessert.

 

 

Our nominated charity for the evening is 

Brooklands Museum is the home to G-BBDG or 'Delta Golf' which was the first Concorde to carry 100 passengers at Mach 2. She was used in the early development of Concorde for testing and certification. Delta Golf had a flying life of seven years, from the 13th February 1974 to the 24th December 1981. Delta Golf was offered to Brooklands in 2003, and, after delivery of major sections of the aircraft in June 2004, a two-year restoration project commenced to recover G-BBDG to her former glory. On the 26th July 2006, Delta Golf was opened to the public at Brooklands Museum by HRH Prince Michael of Kent. 

Brooklands is more than a museum. They undertake considerable work in the community and with schools, colleges and universities around the UK, helping to promote aviation engineering and science.

During the evening there will be an auction and prize draw. The first prize is a real treat. You'll fly the Concorde Flight Simulator at Brooklands, under the stewardship of Capt Mike Bannister and you'll also get to have lunch with him and hear some of his tales at Mach 2 during his time with British Airways. 

 

This is rare and special opportunity to bring your clients and colleagues together to hear first hand from those who spent much of their careers aboard this aircraft. With a room full of aviation fans and a wealth of expereince, it will be something to remember for a long time to come. We also hope to hear from those leading the race to take the next fleet of supersonic aircraft to the skies.
