Seeing that beautiful shape back in the air again would be wonderful, but I really do think we need to face facts here; the aeroplane has been withdrawn from service, the maintenance facilities are no longer there, there is no manufacturer support, the costs involved in operating one would be prohibitive, and the CAA won't sanction private operations of a large complex supersonic jet anyway. It simply ain't gonna happen folks. Put the money towards hangarage instead, get some of our unloved and neglected airframes safely under cover before throwing cash at pie in the sky schemes like this and the Vulcan.
