And if Emirates really do put a model of the A380 where once Concorde stood proud, what will people say?

"What a fat ugly thing"

Can't help feeling that a certain PM of a few years ago would have had wee Willie in for a sound handbagging if she'd learned of the idea.

What's ba.com?

ba apologists love to trot out the phrase "It's gone, let's move on" about Concorde. But the truth is that they've got absolutely no unique selling point nowadays - catering strikes, cabin crew threatening to strike, massive cancellations during the fog last December (and who pioneered Cat 3B landings?), the demise of ba mainline at other airports, the flogging off of ba conair......and now they can't even afford to maintain the iconic 'Concorde roundabout'. They've truly had their day.

Fly ba? No bŁoody way - NEVER!
