April 1985, Concorde flies supersonic. This is the only picture ever taken of Concorde flying at Mach 2, 1,350 mph. The photo was taken by Concorde photographer Adrian Meredith. It was taken from a Royal Air Force Tornado, which rendezvoused with Concorde briefly to the south of Ireland. Although the Tornado could match Concorde's cruising speed it could only do so for a matter of minutes due to the enormous rate of fuel consumption. After racing to catch Concorde and struggling to keep up, the Tornado broke off the rendezvous after just four minutes, while Concorde cruised serenely on to JFK!
