LARGE CONCORDE MODEL ON STAND WITH BRITISH AIRWAYS LIVERY, ENGLAND c.1980
A splendid vintage fibreglass and plastic composite model of a Concorde in full British Airways livery mounted on a tripod stand by Space Models, circa 1980. This 1:36 scale aircraft model would have been presented to one of BA's top travel agents to use for marketing activities and has an extremely rare feature insofar as it is a “double cutaway“, meaning that both sides of the fuselage have been cut to show the seating and cabin arrangement of the Concorde.

Space Models Ltd was located in Feltham, Greater London. The company was founded in 1964 and was recognised as one of the UK's two leading companies in the production of Aerospace, Industrial, Military and Film & TV models and miniatures. The company directors were 'Wag' Evans, Brian Pugsley, Derek Ridley, Keith Baker, Keith Blackburn and originally, John Phillips. Key Model makers were Gary Dickens, David Seymour and Charlie Bryant (originally employed by Gerry Anderson's Century 21 Productions where he built models for Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90). The Workshop Manager from 1977 was Peter Robbins - formerly of Westway Models and builder of numerous miniatures and models for productions such as 2001: A Space Odyssey.
