April, 1985, 50,000 feet over the Irish Sea, this is the only picture ever taken of a Concorde flying over Mach 2. The photo itself was taken by Adrian Meredith, a prestigious British photographer, from a Panavia Tornado, a British fighter of the Royal Air Force. Meredith had to be quick and precise, because flying that high he had less than 4 mins to take the shot. The fighter couldn't keep up with the Concorde beyond that time. If you look at the horizon, the Earth's curvature begins to show🤯🙌🏻 https://image.nostr.build/14548e7ea98529176b9f5e77c6dea75a876be1516b218e6446292eebd1c5a8a9.jpg  

 If you complete the circle, there is no way that the earths curvature is visible, the Earth would be tiny. 

 Fish eye lenses are a wonderful invention. 

 My grandparents rode on that thing like 20 times. My grandfather still never shuts up about it. Said nothing has ever compared to that experience. Not even private.  

 I think this picture is a great example of fiat sorcery. Such a shame it isn’t being used anymore😢
