Oh come on, that's not really fair.
Concorde's ultimate appeal is that it appeals to everyone; especially those who have absolutely no interest whatsover in any other aspect of aviation.
So what if they only heard about it on the morning news? I only heard about it yesterday......and I'm a PPruner! And when you say that they ******ed off immediately that it had gone from sight, what did you expect them to do?
Or are you upset they didn't ask you how to disassemble an Olympus 593?
