Don't hit me with those negative waves: the illustious words from Donald Sutherland. Anything is possible.
1/ Cost: about £15 million I would guestimate. Mere loose change from the budget
for 2012
2/ Crews: There would be a stampede from ex Concorde crews
3/ Ditto engineers, and I guess there are shed loads of spares about.
4/ Cof A. Not necessary. it could fly privately on a permit .That would also get
away from the problem of lack of type certificate support
This would make the opening of 2012 the best ever. I really hope they do it and proove all the doom mongers wrong. I would put my quid in the fund.
Lastly it would really P off the French who bid for the games, so it must be worth doing!
