This archival-quality aviation photograph captures British Airways Concorde G-BOAF taking off at RAF Fairford during the International Air Tattoo on July 19, 1997. Photographed by Stuart H Bourne, this image showcases Concorde in full afterburner climb—an iconic moment from the golden age of supersonic flight.
Concorde G-BOAF, also known as Concorde 216, was the last Concorde ever built and the final aircraft to fly in the fleet. Delivered to British Airways in 1980, it played a key role in the Return to Flight programme following the Paris crash in 2000. On November 26, 2003, G-BOAF completed the last ever Concorde flight, traveling from Heathrow to Filton with 100 British Airways employees onboard.
Today, G-BOAF is preserved at the Aerospace Bristol museum, housed in a purpose-built hangar at Filton—the very site where Concorde was originally assembled. Visitors can explore the aircraft up close, including its cockpit and passenger cabin, and learn about the engineering legacy of supersonic travel.
