Post Concorde carries out second Atlantic test flight

fresh info from AFP :

LONDON, July 20 (AFP) - A British Airways Concorde carried out a
second test flight Friday over the Atlantic as part of efforts to
prove that the supersonic jet is fit to resume passenger flights a
year after a fatal crash north of Paris.
The jet was to take off from the Brize Norton base west of
London and perform a three-hour loop to Iceland and back before
landing at Heathrow some time after 5:00 p.m. (1600 GMT), a BA
spokeswoman told AFP.


Can't wait to see the old lady resuming scheduled services back again !!
