Part of a $500m re-branding project by Pepsi Cola included this spectacular Concorde repaint, which lasted for just 10 days at the beginning of April 1996. 2,000 hours of painting work were needed at Orly for the surprise unveiling at Gatwick on 2.4.96, in the presence of a number of show business and sports stars. A promotional tour of 10 cities across Europe and the Middle East followed. Supersonic flight above M1.70 over 20 mins in the blue paintwork was not allowed due to heat concerns

Some testing of the Concorde's sonic boom over land was done in Australia in 1972. After it entered service, visits by Air France and British Airways were confined to luxury air cruises. Landings and takeoffs at noise-sensitive Sydney airport was always over Botany Bay. The long legs of subsonic wide-bodies had nullified much of the Concorde's speed advantage. When launched, Concorde would have been 12-15 hours quicker London-Sydney than a typical 707 service. But against a 1980s one-stop 747 service the saving was only four hours.

Some testing of the Concorde's sonic boom over land was done in Australia in 1972. After it entered service, visits by Air France and British Airways were confined to luxury air cruises. Landings and takeoffs at noise-sensitive Sydney airport was always over Botany Bay. The long legs of subsonic wide-bodies had nullified much of the Concorde's speed advantage. When launched, Concorde would have been 12-15 hours quicker London-Sydney than a typical 707 service. But against a 1980s one-stop 747 service the saving was only four hours.

UTA was the designated French carrier for Australia at the time of this photo, so an Air France aircraft was a unusual visitor. F-BPVM flew with Air France as N63305 from 1973 to 1982, then under French registry until scrapped in 2002.
