HC Deb 09 July 1969 vol 786 c253W
26. Mr. Ellis

asked the Minister of Technology if he will make a statement on his assessment so far of the Concorde testing programme.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

The results of flight testing so far are most encouraging. Both prototypes have behaved well in flight, and on take-off and landing. The engines and systems have performed well, and for such an early stage in testing, reliability has been excellent.
