Episode 2 of 2

The makers, pilots and passengers tell the story of the Anglo-French Concorde, still the most advanced airliner ever to take to the skies.

Concorde was and still is the most advanced airliner ever to take to the skies. Faster than a speeding bullet, she flew a mile every 2.3 seconds.

In this two-part documentary, the makers, pilots and passengers tell the incredible story of how the Anglo-French Concorde saw off competition from the Americans and Soviets to design and build the world鈥檚 only supersonic airliner.

Concorde became synonymous with the rich and famous, before a horrific incident ended its service. We explore the real reasons for the Paris crash and how this was used to end Concorde鈥檚 career much too soon.

鈥橲 e Concorde am pl猫ana as adhartaiche a chaidh suas dhan adhar a-riamh. Nas luaithe na peilear aig astar, bha i a鈥� d猫anamh aon m矛le gach 2.3 diog.

Anns an d脿 phr貌gram seo, tha an luchd-cruthachaidh, na paidhleatan agus an luchd-siubhail ag innse sgeulachd inntinneach mu mar a shoirbhich le Concorde, a bha ceangailte ris an Fhraing agus ri Breatainn, an aghaidh nan Ameireaganach agus nan Ruiseanach, airson dealbhachadh agus cruthachadh an aon phl猫ana san t-saoghal a bha a dol aig astar fuaim.

鈥橲 ann ri na daoine beartach agus ainmeil a bha Concorde co-cheangailte ach an d猫idh tubaist uabhasach th脿inig l脿ithean m貌ra a鈥� phl猫ana gu ceann. Tha am pr貌gram seo a鈥� rannsachadh an tubaist adhair ann am Paris agus mar a chur e as dha Concorde nas luaithe na bu ch貌ir.
