Translation required - I'm ok on MTOW, AUW, V1, V2, and VR, but ATOW and RTOW - I know I know, but I'm buggered if I can remember right now, and I can't find my aviation dictionary!
Edited for this message to Magplug: Thanks. Have read and re-read all previous Concorde strands. The Observer one concentrated most on the missing spacer - I was fascinated by the weight/cg issue and the garbled report I had that the Captain (perhaps now I mean co-p?) was unhappy about what he was being asked to do. Would suggest that the strand will die all on it's own when it has 'run its course', but at the moment, people still seem interested in the subject, and happy to answer my damn fool questions and try and educate me - for which I'm immensely grateful.
