I've been an aircraft lover all my life, as is my wife. I worked with Concorde for 30+ years and shed a few tears when we saw the last take off. I can also remember Vulcans and recall the sound and the sheer beauty of the machines. But, I no longer agree with spending millions in restoring these aircraft to airworthiness. Supposing they did fly again, how much more is needed to retain them in airworthy condition and fly them regularly? The miond boggles.

God forbid but maybe one day, those who want to keep filling bottomless pits with cash might have relatives with incurable diseases.... then they might think again where their monies would be better spent.
