Photo Comment

One of two high speed supersonic research aircraft, 777 contributed to the Concord development programme, and in 1956 held the World's absolute speed record at 1132 mph. Seen here with her 'droop snoot' engaged, a feature which improved the pilots forward view at high angles of attack.
