I think its the fastest still in service since the retirement of Concorde.
I think the VC10 was faster, and it was only just prior to Covid in Feb this year that appropiately it was a BA 747 that broke the 40 odd year old non-Concorde trans altlantic crossing record held by a VC-10 due to the jetstream from that mega storm in Feb.
