The ConcordeIn 1967, the Concorde, a joint British-French venture and the world's first supersonic airliner, was unveiled in Toulouse, France. The French prototype Concorde 001 was displayed in a ceremony attended by 1,100 guests.

This was a further sign of a committment to cooperation in the joint project by France and Britain. |
