Dining sky high

Between 1976 and 2003 approximately 2.5 million passengers flew on Concorde's commercial flights, travelling (and dining) at twice the speed of sound. The supersonic airliner transformed the way the world travelled for a brief period, cutting down flight times and offering a luxurious new way of flying. While airline meals date as far back as 1919, none have quite matched Concorde's for sheer lavishness. Here we step back in time chronicling Concorde's distinguished food history, from the celebrity chefs involved to the decadent meals served.
