Retourne Concorde?.....J'espère qu'il n'y a pas de faux espoirs!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8712806.stm

[Jimbob]

excellent news 

[Dishevelled Den]

It's about time we celebrated this engineering marvel  8-) 8-)

[HolyCount]

Finally ... some sense.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

That is wonderful news Debs 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I just hope that all the spares, technical expertise, and certification, let alone funds, can be secured for the foreseeable future

It would have been great to also get a British Airways Concorde back into the air, but I cannot see that happening with the financial situation of that company and our country!

[Nickbat]

It would be wonderful to see it in the air again. Thanks for spotting that , Debs.

[tidla]

just got to keep the runways clean, something the french struggle with..

I fear BA did too good a job at breaking and parts dispersal !

[The Red Baron]

sounds like good news debs.

I fear BA did too good a job at breaking and parts dispersal !

BA made absolutely certain that all of theirs were put beyond ever flying again.

Spiteful batsrads.

For this reason alone, i hope untie and BA manage to destroy each other is their current dispute

Yes, another fine example of the bottom line reigning supreme

Indeed, they put huge efforts in stopping Branson buying them as well.

He would have run them at a loss, because he knew the image they had. But i reckon he could have made them profitable again, Virgin are making record profits, were BA are loosing hand over fist.

I just hope they restore it to an Air France look, as BA don't deserve it and get all thats coming to them

kin ell - i agree with tunnie 
BA couldn't wait to mothball concorde as it was costing too much, the minute Air France had the accident they pounced 
It is actually the only time in history I can think of whereby we went backwards technologically - concorde was an awesome sight, and it got canned after one incident? do ferrari scrap their f1 car if it ploughs into a barrier? do man united scrap their first team if they lose a game? ridiculous
