fish Concorde Frenzy Vol 97

It is of course a tradition on PPrune to make snidey comments about journalists getting aviation stuff wrong. In keeping with tradition, I notice that this morning 's Times tells us that because of the shape of Concorde's nose "it prefers to land against the wind". Blimey! What a rubbish crate, no wonder they're binning it. Not like those little tailwheelies I fly which can of course land in any direction and in a raging gale. The Times goes on to mention that one of the pointy machines will be executing "a loop over the Atlantic". Hope they've told David Frost and Joan Collins....
