'Because they were not the ones he wanted I imagine.'
Quite, so he's not interested in five or so aeroplanes, 'available' five months in advance of the BA aircraft, undoubtedly very similar mod status due to the small production run. You yourself have stated that transferring BA's fleet wouldn't be a problem, getting BA's staff aircrew/engineers etc to join Virgin wouldn't be a problem, so why no french option considered? Still points to a brilliantly taken
PR opportunity by RB with no real intention to ever run the aircraft commercially. So as a matter of interest why do you imagine he's only got eyes for the UK registered aircraft?. Its simple enough to put a French Boeing/Bus on the uk reg why not Concorde?.
If you don't want people to comment on your public mud wrestling with other opponents mate do it behind closed doors!
Bumbly Boo? Try Spike Milligan for kids
From Sydney Zoo an Alligator,
was put on board a flying freighter.
He ate the pilot and the navigator,
then asked for more with mashed potater
Best thing to do with pilots and navs quite frankly!
