| Additional information |
Concorde's first flight took place on 2 March 1969 from Toulouse, making 2019 the fiftieth anniversary. The aircraft never served Guernsey — the island's runway at the time was entirely unsuitable — but the Bailiwick has issued commemorative coinage tied to British aviation milestones with some regularity, this being among the more commercially driven examples in that run.
