To add to this list, I also have a Singapore Airlines Concorde safety card.
I picked it up on a flight SIN-BAH-LHR. On the first leg, only SQ literature was in the seat pockets, which was changed to BA during the stop in BAH.

On another curious note ...
I also have an Air Canada Concorde and an Air Canada B2707 SST, safety cards.
Clearly these are not real, however they were produced in-house by Air Canada's print shop in 1968, for a cabin mock-up at the Canadian National Exhibition of Summer 1968. In that era, Air Canada produced their own safety cards. These ones used art work from the DC-9 and DC-8 safety cards, but the exit plan looked accurate to what they would have known in 1968.

Thank you LongHauler for the most exciting response.....
In over 30 years of collecting one is always amazed to discover new things, that keeps the hobby alive.
Best regards,

Thank you Cedarjet for checking
Turns out that there are more cards from test aircrafts than I thought ( recently saw the G-AXDN one in a book...)
Best regards

It is great to see threads like this, and such Safety Card enthusiasts.
LAXSST, you obviously have a focus on SST safety cards. Interesting that you have a TU144 Safety Card, often considered the "holy grail". Congrats.
My focus is Trans-Canada Air Lines and Air Canada. I am proud to say I have a copy of every Safety Card printed of TC/AC right from 1937 to present. (I have been at this a long time ... ) Even some of the odd-balls of the past where either TC or AC wet-leased an aircraft for a short term.
Fascinating hobby.

The TU card holds a special place in my collection since I was at Le Bourget on the fateful day in 1973 when the Tu 144 crashed on Goussainville ( a mere couple of miles from where 27 years later the Concorde Crashed ).
Neverr seen any cards until a few years back on Ebay, the card flew off for $ 1500 USD. I got my copy from an European collector. The quality is not great yet above a simple color copy so might be the real thing with the notable exception that the card only has Illy 144 on top ( not Aeroflot or any other name like for the NASA test flights in the 90's..
For Air Canada, Someone at Ac has a lot of fun producing cards like the cabin trainer one ....
I would love to see whenever time will permit a scan of the SQ Concorde ( and of course your 2 cards for AC for the Concorde and 2707)
Best regards from LAX

Quoting longhauler (Reply 5): To add to this list, I also have a Singapore Airlines Concorde safety card.

I only get to see this thread now!
You are one lucky bunny!
I have so many safety cards from flights, not only Concorde, but this Singapore Airlines Concorde safety card is my dream safety card!!
This is the rarest among the rarest Concorde safety cards.
I am sure even the Braniff are more common!
There was a better way to fly it was called Concorde

I am in the process of moving right now, and all of my safety cards are securely packed right now. I will scan this card and post it on here for all to see. It is an unusual card, as it is not a BA card with a sticker, or different heading, (like the BN card) ... but it is in fact an actual SQ card, in the same format as their other fleets at the time.
I only regret on that flight, that I took only one card!
With regard to the Air Canada Concorde and Air Canada B2707 cards, that is a different story.
A gentleman in Belgium read a post of mine here and expressed a desire for these cards. Even knowing that they are in fact "fake", but produced by Air Canada for an exposition ... he offered me a huge amount for these cards. I wont tell you how much, but it would be enough to purchase a new Corvette ZR1 Convertible!
He stated that these cards must be a "one-off" and the B2707 card is probably the only one in existence for that type. He required that I sign an affidavit that I have not scanned these cards, or reproduced them in any way, as that would decrease their value. So, until I have decided what to do, I may never scan them, and post them on here.

Good Morning,
Thank you for the offer to scan the SQ Concorde card.
Great to read that your one off AC Concorde and 2707 have raised such an interest .... Sad though to never have the chance to see What a 2707 safety card would have looked like.... Hope at least that you will get some customized license plates for your Z1 AC SST comes to mind......
For the scans of the Tu 144 Safety card: ( + pics)

Odd ball card from FWA ( flown on Concorde ....)
from the Movie Airport Concorde 79 ..... + Braniff
can be seen on the following :

The Concorde 2 Card is one of the issues from the G-BBDG ( For Madame Concorde)
Actually, the lucky part was that I was on the flight at all.
I was to fly on a VC-10 of BA SIN-LHR (with many stops between) as a non-rev passenger traveling on an ID80, as my Father flew for Air Canada. I was at the window looking at Concorde, and the agent who checked me in for the VC-10 flight saw me looking. She came over, and I kept commenting on her beauty. (The aircraft, not the agent). I was taking many pictures.
The BA paint scheme was on the side we were looking, and when I commented that it looked far better than the SQ scheme on the other side, I think I hit a nerve, she told me to wait, and came back about 10 minutes later. She had a boarding pass in hand, seat 22A, pointing at Concorde she said "OK, its leaving in 45 minutes, its full out of BAH so you may get bumped, but you are dressed nicely, so why not?" (I was wearing a school blazer and tie).
Quite an adventure for a 17 year old, and I never forgot every second of it. As it turns out, I got the last seat out of BAH for LHR, 9B.
Quoting laxsst (Reply 15): Hope at least that you will get some customized license plates for your Z1 AC SST comes to mind......
That is a brilliant idea, I am looking into it right now!

Great story !

Looking forward to hear about the license plate. Ps AC red for the Corvette?
