Branson announced his desire to buy the aircraft days after BA announced it's retirement. Can a 'great deal of research' take place in this time?
For someone who makes out he knows the truth and understands the commercial world that's a very naive comment.
So you think BA's announcement came as a surprise to Branson and he only started his research when he read the newspapers? Twit! I know, not guessing, he was in confidential talks with key BA people who for months before that.
Branson decided he could do it and a lot of people who know more about operating Concorde than you thought he could as well. Branson has an unconventional business image which he exploits to his advantage, but he's a razor sharp tough top class businessman. We could do with a few like him at the moment. I'd rather have him running the company than Marshall and Rod.
