Win a copy of Captain Concorde: The True Story of One Man’s Remarkable Journey of Flight and Faith

In 1976, the first supersonic passenger plane made its commercial debut with British Airways, flying from London to Bahrain. Its tagline? ‘Arrive before you leave.’ Soaring at twice the speed of sound and reaching double the altitude of a commercial jet (its high-profile passengers could even see the Earth’s curvature at maximum elevation), few pilots were entrusted to operate the aviation marvel. Brian Walpole, OBE, was one of them.

Skyrocket behind the scenes with Walpole himself, who reveals the prestige, precision and pressures of the Concorde’s bygone brilliance. Enter to win one of five signed copies of his memoir, Captain Concorde: The True Story of One Man's Remarkable Journey of Flight and Faith, courtesy of Malcolm Down Publishing, where aviation aficionados can also get a 20% discount using code BAEXEC20. Offer code expires 23:59 GMT on 19 February 2025. To enter, and for full Terms and Conditions, see below. Promoter: Malcolm Down Publishing.
