This is a vintage original poster issued by British Airways in the early 1980s to promote the airline’s flagship Concorde transatlantic service.  This poster features a view of the Concorde at high altitude over clouds and set against a brilliant blue sky with text that reads: 

We’re Saving You A Seat – The World’s Fastest Seat – On The World’s Favourite Airline™ - Watch For The Mail.   There’s More To Come.  – British Airways 

This poster has an autograph which looks to be a facsimile or printed autograph of Fred Finn who achieved some distinction for being the most travelled Concorde passenger.  We don’t find a date on this poster but the same exact image with different text appears in magazine advertisements for the Concorde in 1982 and the poster is likely issued around that same time period. 

This poster is printed one side only and was issued folded.   This poster is free or tape or pinholes and shows light to moderate handling wear. Overall condition is very good for this vintage original.
