Royal Mail's latest stamp issue, issued on 21st January 2026, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first commercial flights of Concorde. On 21st January 1976, Concorde flew simultaneous flights from Heathrow to Bahrain by British Airways and from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Rio by Air France, with each aircraft taking off from Heathrow and Paris at precisely the same time 11.40am. The supersonic plane became the icon of the 1970s with an aim to beat the barriers of time and space and to connect a much smaller, faster and globalised world.
The Concorde @ 50 collector Sheet includes all 8 new stamps from the Concorde issue alongside labels with additional imagery all set on top of the striking image of 4 of the aircrafts in the air. This image was taken on Christmas Eve, 1985, when British Airways organised a unique formation flight with four Concorde aircraft to celebrate 10 years of passenger service.
