Now the Concorde.........we think this is from around 1971.
Just before the takeover BUA were pushing a huge route expansion (the Four Phase Plan) and parts of that called for supersonic ops.
Concorde had yet to enter service, but had flown, and I am wondering if the newly formed Cale//BUA teams continued elements of the BUA supersonic ops plans. I certainly found info on plans by Caledonian and BUA for Concorde ops right in to the early 1970s. Seems they may have continued on a bit, possibly until the oil crisis in 1974.
This model, made by Westway, pre-dates the later BCal proposal to operate one of the then two unsold Concorde aircraft. You will see it does not have the yellow cheatline, but does have the original Lion Rampant and upper case titles.
