SSD, I hate to admit it but I CAN remember the Wilson Government being elected and the TSR-2 decision. The point of my post is the seemingly incredible blaming of Labour for the end of Concorde.
In fact, it was actually a Labour Government, principally through a certain Anthony Wedgewood-Benn (anyone else remember his pre "Tony Benn" days) who actually saved Concorde from cancellation. It did help that Benn's constituency covered a large part of Bristol, I suppose!!
