This Blue Fox & Chave silk tie features a repeat pattern of Concorde.
Despite its maiden test flights which took place in 1969, Concorde did not enter commercial service for another 8 years with the first passengers boarding for destinations to Bahrain from London and for Rio via Dakar from Paris.
Initial development of the finalised aircraft had begun as early as 1954 and saw numerous difficulties in development largely centred around a wing configuration necessary for a supersonic aircraft substantial enough in size to carry adequate passengers for economic viability. Whilst this saw early adoption of the delta wing design, a further part of the solution involved the aircraft requiring a taller than standard front landing gear to increase the angle of the plane at take off, thereby generating greater lift to reduce take off length and to lower excessive speeds on landing.
