Telly not on Steve but i've always loved Concorde. Once when i was 8 or 9 my Dad bought me home a desktop pen holder type thing with a hude Concorde. I kept it on my bedroom windowsill & parked my favourite diecast cars round it (which i still collect)....my anorak hobby! :D

Talking of innovative aeroplanes..............

So, we'll wait until about 2 weeks before it's ready to fly then cancel the project and give it to the Yanks? >:(

Fabulous programme, Concorde still looks great, even today

Never forget seeing her with the Red Arrows, at Leicester Airshow around 1984, sadly a sight we will never see again........

Oh, that "Give and Take" relationship? We give, they take..........

I do wonder if this is a smokescreen to divert attention from something  else?

it appears BA are being their usual tricks again:

http://www.the2012londonolympics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4398

I really do hate with a passion BA, they way they treated Virgin Atlantic in the early years, and their refusal to sell them to Virgin.  >:(

They went before their time  :'(

Branson was using concorde as an excuse to have a pop at BA as usual
he wanted to buy the planes for a pound as he claimed thats what BA paid for them
he would fly them for a year and then retire them with a virgin atlantic livery

the retired planes still serve BA well as there logo is up the side of them

Read his autobiography to know why, BA incorrectly serviced his aircraft in the early days, resulting in a long court battle, and used some very under-hand tactics in stealing his customers
