Anybody else heard the latest conspiracy theory from inside 'Rod Airways'? Apparently in retaliation for Britain’s non-compliance with the French over the invasion of Iraq, they were to make sure that there was no chance of their (i.e. BAs) Concordes ever flying again, the French having made their decision already. This came from an insider very close to Concorde and the dates seem to fit and it worked!!!!
I think it would have stopped commercial flying anyway, but maybe just one could have been kept airworthy if there would have been component manufacturer’s support.
RIP good buddy.
