Concorde Aircraft Histories
Twenty Concorde aircraft were built, six for development and 14 for commercial service.
These were
- Two prototypes
- Two pre-production aircraft
- 16 production aircraft
- The first two of these did not enter commercial service
- Of the 14 which flew commercially, nine were still in service in April 2003
All but two of these aircraft—a remarkably high percentage for any commercial fleet—are preserved.

Famous quotes containing the word histories:
“All histories do shew, and wise politicians do hold it necessary that, for the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare themselves so to be when occasion is offered.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
