RAE Bedford's contribution to Concorde

RAE Bedford’s Contribution to Concorde at The Higgins Bedford celebrates RAE Bedford’s major, but often unrecognised, contribution to Concorde, the world’s first fully operational supersonic airliner. Fifty years ago, on 9 April 1969, the UK’s prototype Concorde supersonic airliner made its maiden flight at Filton, near Bristol.
