The BAC prototype Concorde G-BSST made its first Farnborough appearance in September 1970 and was back two years later wowing the crowds, its Olympus 593s leaving thick trails of smoke. By the time of G-AXDN's appearance in 1974, the smoking had been largely eliminated.

Originally the Srs. 400 development aircraft first flown on 13 July 1965, converted as the Srs. 500 prototype which flew on 30 June 1967, and then the Srs. 475 prototype which flew on 27 August 1970. In 1977 G-ASYD was converted yet again as the Srs. 670, developed with the Japanese market in mind. In this form it first flew on 13 September 1977, and made an appearance at Farnborough in 1978, however this version was not proceeded with. It has since been preserved at Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, flying there from Hurn on 14 July 1994.
