This archival aviation photograph captures British Aircraft Corporation Concorde G-AXDN during its landing approach at Farnborough Airshow on 6 September 1974. The aircraft is shown descending in front of the terminal building, with its distinctive delta wing and pointed nose clearly visible.

G-AXDN was a pre-production development airframe, used extensively for ground testing and public display. Although never certified for commercial service, it played a vital role in Concorde’s engineering evolution and remains a key part of supersonic aviation history.

Photographed by Stuart H Bourne, this image documents a rare moment in British aerospace heritage. The print is produced on gloss archival paper, ideal for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts seeking authentic visual records of Concorde’s airshow appearances.

Today, Concorde G-AXDN is proudly displayed at the Imperial War Museum Duxford as part of the British Airliner Collection, where visitors can view the restored droop nose and cockpit lighting systems. For additional historical context and technical details, see the Historic England Archive.
