I think the decision probably was unavoidable for the reasons posted by NW1 but I've been around long enough to remember the two occasions when everyone was saying it was unavoidable that Concorde had to be dropped, especially when the government pulled the plug. Everyone said it couldn't be done and then Lord King pulled off the impossible. Walpole wasn't everyone's cup of tea but you can't take what he did for Concorde's success away from him. Jock Lowe was a star and a great loss to BA when he retired.
I've got no axe to grind, never been on the Concorde fleet and never wanted to but maybe Flying Lawyer's got a point. We'll never know the answer now.

So the lawyer's a monkey brained moronic empty barrel who knows nothing about aviation, eh?
That's not the impression I get from his posts and it's not what the crews in the 777 stowaway inquest came back saying. He's well respected in the industry because he's earned respect. That doesn't mean he's right about this point but he's as entitled to give his opinion as anybody else, more entitled than many and he deserves more courtesy than you've shown in your childish insults.
Stick to the law matey?
You've made a prat of yourself.
