At the risk of being an old curmudgeon;

Great to hear that one has flown again, albeit briefly, but am I alone in thinking it's a bit rich that a Concorde should be displayed in the home of the company and the country chiefly responsible for making it a commercial non-starter? And that was mainly due to the sour grapes of Vast Airplanes Inc., whose own product was feat of chutney.

Ah, well. No doubt it will be presented as a true-blue Boeing design eventually, just like those other wonderful US inventions; the Harrier, hovercraft and telephone.

History is written by him with the loudest voice.
