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! ::) ::)

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  :y
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  :o
