Concorde: A Photographic Tribute

by Adrian Meredith, Mike Bannister (Foreword by)

Concorde can surely claim to be the world’s favorite aircraft. Its sleek lines and glamorous design made it an icon recognized all over the world. Traveling at twice the speed of sound at 60,000 feet, to fly Concorde was the dream of many and the regular pastime of the lucky few. The rich and famous graced its all-first-class cabins, some time and again. Photographer Adrian Meredith spent many years photographing  Concorde from every conceivable angle. Here he has collated his artwork for the first time, to present a full color tribute to this remarkable and memorable aircraft. Including information and photos from behind the scenes as well as significant milestones and detail on the passengers and personalities on board, this is a unique and beautiful photographic tribute.

[Adrian Meredith · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's great to see other people with the same name as me. I hope that nobody gets the two of us confused. This guy is a photographer while I write ghost stories, as well as some things a bit scarier and a bit less scary, but the average are mildly scary ghost stories. Anyway, this guy, my namesake, has produced something simply amazing, and I am proud to share a name with this guy, or two names actually. There's a band called Adrian+Meredith too, also unrelated (as that is a guy and a girl) and, while I haven't heard their music, I am sure that they are awesome too. Seriously, if you think I can take photographs this amazing, then you're very confused. I apologise if anyone has thought that I wrote this book. I didn't write this one. I did write Tales From the Aether (Bob The Potato and Other Stories is the alternate title) and was a co-author in both the Cold Cases and Worlds Apart anthologies. I do have a pen name, but Adrian Meredith isn't it. This book was not written by me. I don't mind the misunderstanding, though, and I hope that that Adrian Meredith isn't upset that Goodreads has accidentally linked us.
