One of the amazing things about human beings is to hold on to the past - long after it has past.
I adored the VC-10, it was magnificent but it is gone.
Look at marks & Spencer - for years they have been trying to rescue the clothing side of the business. Yet, it was apparent more than 15 years ago that it was dead in the water. Still they spend money trying to make it work. The only part of M&S that works is the food hall.
Let this beautiful bird rest in our memories.
