April, 1985, 50,000 feet over the Irish Sea, this is the only picture ever taken of a Concorde flying over Mach 2. The photo itself was taken by Adrian Meredith, a prestigious British photographer, from a Panavia Tornado, a British fighter of the Royal Air Force. Meredith had to be quick and precise, because flying that high he had less than 4 mins to take the shot. The fighter couldn't keep up with the Concorde beyond that time. If you look at the horizon, the Earth's curvature begins to show🤯🙌🏻

If you complete the circle, there is no way that the earths curvature is visible, the Earth would be tiny.

My grandparents rode on that thing like 20 times. My grandfather still never shuts up about it. Said nothing has ever compared to that experience. Not even private.

I think this picture is a great example of fiat sorcery. Such a shame it isn’t being used anymore😢
