LOVE was in the air at the National Museum of Flight when a couple got engaged on Concorde.

Lulu and Noemie, who live in Edinburgh, met three years ago at Durham University but there is a sentimental reason why the proposal occurred inside the famous supersonic airliner at the museum.

Lulu's father had the opportunity to fly on Concorde in the early 2000s.

The plane has been viewed by 1.5 million people since arriving at the museum at East Fortune.

Knowing this, Noemie orchestrated the perfect opportunity and, while visiting on October 13, popped the question.

Lulu said: “He had the opportunity to fly on Concorde in the brief period it was flying again in 2001-2003 (though I’m not entirely sure when!), and I remember feeling kind of sad I missed my window (I was only three at the time).

"It’s clear my dad really enjoyed the experience and how fast it was, and I was kind of confused why nobody else had decided to follow its example.

"I think its exclusivity and unavailability built a mythos in my head, so I’ve been obsessed since!”

In April, the museum celebrated 20 years of Scotland's Concorde arriving at the airstrip following a 16-day trip across the United Kingdom. 

The British Airways aircraft was welcomed by cheering crowds and an RAF Tornado flypast.

Following the engagement, Steve McLean, general manager at the National Museum of Flight, said: “I have to say we all went 'Awwwww'  when we first received Noemie’s email request to propose onboard Concorde and were determined to create a special experience for the couple.

"We were all absolutely delighted when Lulu said yes!

"Concorde is truly special and our most popular exhibit even after 20 years on display. An icon of the skies it was considered the height of luxury and represented the pinnacle of engineering. There were surely hundreds of proposals onboard Concorde while in flight, and this romantic appeal has continued on the ground with two couples getting married on Scotland’s Concorde at the National Museum of Flight."
