Episode 1
46 minutes
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 engineers and designers saw off competition from the Americans and Soviets to build the world’s 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’s career much too soon.
’S e Concorde am plèana as adhartaiche a chaidh suas dhan adhar a-riamh. Nas luaithe na peilear aig astar, bha i a’ dèanamh aon mìle gach 2.3 diog.
Anns an dà phrògram 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 phlèana san t-saoghal a bha a dol aig astar fuaim.
’S ann ri na daoine beartach agus ainmeil a bha Concorde co-cheangailte ach an dèidh tubaist uabhasach thàinig làithean mòra a’ phlèana gu ceann. Tha am prògram seo a’ rannsachadh an tubaist adhair ann am Paris agus mar a chur e as dha Concorde nas luaithe na bu chòir.
