Hello, I am back. Been travelling during the past 4 weeks so had little time to write. And, I know I am a few days late with this but I hope you enjoy the stamps anyway.

The first Concorde prototype took off from Toulouse in the south of France 50 years ago on March 2, 1969. Hard to believe as far as I am concerned, yes 50 years ago.

Did you know only 20 were built and now 17 can be found in various places, museums or storage, in the UK, Europe the USA and one in Barbados, I think.
Last year I visited the Fleet Air Arm museum at Yeovilton airfield in the UK. While the museum is devoted to the history of British naval aviation it does have the second Concorde to fly and the first British built example. Nice to see it and walk around it again.
Anyway, this stamp is from North Korea as I guess you can see and it shows the Air France Concorde and a Wibault 283 Trimotor. I should do more research to find why this aircraft was used, or I am just missing the obvious. This was also an Air France plane first flown in 1934. but I cannot see the relationship with the Concorde. Maybe someone will enlighten me, or there isn't one!

Enjoy your flying and your aerophilately
