Why Concorde without any definite or indefinite articles? Probably because it adds to the mystique and the uniqueness, etc, etc. 'I fly Concorde' sounds cool, whereas 'I fly Jumbo'.................hmmm!
But the RAF went all daft a while back when they stopped talking about
the Lightning, or Lightnings,
the Phantom, or Phantoms, etc, and introduced Jaguar, and then Tornado, and now Typhoon. Pompous or what?
