Question New Transport for RAF ????

Are BA looking to provide the "rapid" in the Rapid Reaction Force, by using Concorde? Hence its visit to Brize for the next week or so

On a serious note, why Brize in particular for the Concorde test program, or have I missed something? I take it if Boscombe was ever considered, DERA, QinetiQ or what ever they are called today, probably priced themselves out of the market!

If it was just a big runway with cheap landing fees BA wanted, why not Prestwick or another airfield?
