Finally, why not give the aircraft to ... the USA? They are the destinations which have supported the aircraft for the last twenty years, not East Fortune.
You're having a laugh! After all the whinging NIMBYism and sour grapes. Even New Yorks own congressman Weiner couldn't wait to see the back of Concorde. If it really was that bad, then why would the museums want it?

If the fleet really HAS to retire then surely is right to send them to museums in the UK. In my humble opinion East Fortune should get one - even if it will have to be brought in my truck - and keep her right alongside the Comet and the Vulcan. Two more memories of our once great Aviation industry.
