The jet, which was born in Bristol, beat off competition from iconic designs such as the tube map and cat鈥檚 eye, to pick up the prize.

Eddie Morgan told 主播大秀 Radio Bristol: 鈥淚t didn鈥檛 just beat them off, it absolutely hammered them. It won hands down.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a really worthy winner after a long and intensive set of votes.鈥�

Mr Morgan said Concorde was something that could brighten people鈥檚 days, and that helped it win.

鈥淚t was hard to articulate but it was like spotting a really famous person across the other side of a restaurant,鈥� he said.

鈥淚 noticed people spotting it where I live in West London and people would say 鈥榯here she is鈥�. People gave Concorde a gender, it was almost alive.

鈥淎lthough there鈥檚 a fleet you usually only ever saw one of them, so it was like you were spotting the sole Concorde in the world.鈥�

Oliver Deardon, from the Bristol Aero Collection, said the jet鈥檚 influence had passed through generations.

鈥淵ou get a whole family come from grandmother down to grandchildren and every member of that family knows what Concorde is and what it did.鈥�

Concorde made its last flight to from London Gatwich to Bristol's Filton Airfield in 2003.

The production line for the jet was in both Bristol and Toulouse, France.

The second prototype, Concorde 002, was first test flown between Filton and RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, in 1969.
