Engineering Manuals (Books 1 to 10) - See Books 11 - 20
These 16 very rare Concorde manuals were produced in 1973. Each describes in detail both the structure and operations of a part of the Concorde or it's systems. They refer to the production level aircraft rather than the Prototypes. We have just one of each manual. They were targetted at the Pilots and Flight Engineers training to take Concorde into commercial service. There are 16 Manuals in total. These were used by a member of the Concorde "Nucleus" group of BA and BAC Pilots and Flight Engineers during the mid 70s. The manuals are in excellent used condition and now 30 years old. The occasional handwritten margin annotation or correction adds to their fascinating history as does the name of the flight crew member on the front. Each will come with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Concorde Collectables and the Senior Engineering Officer who used these manuals and has taken care of them ever since.
