From DAS: This aircraft is a pre production version of Concorde and has the distinction of having flown the fastest of any Concorde during the flight trials in which it was involved. Delta November first flew on 17th December 1971 at Filton aerodrome near Bristol. It was the third of the six aircraft used in the extensive six and a half year testing programs that preceded Concorde’s entry into airline service. In April 1974, in the course of a test programme conducted from Tangier, 101 reached Mach 2.23 (1450 mph), and in November of the same year it flew from Fairford to Bangor, Maine, in 2 hrs 56 minutes, a record time for a commercial aircraft flying across the Atlantic in a Westerly direction.
