"Cancel my order, before it starts to ruin our environment!"

Concorde Supersonic Jet Australia Down Under original cartoon artwork

(3 June 1972: The British-assembled 002 Concorde supersonic airliner left the UK on a 40,000-mile world sales tour. It was feared the journey could end up generating more bad publicity than good for the £970m Anglo-French airliner. It was already being attacked by environmental and financial critics.)
