Thanks Gaza.

I have another related query. Concorde AF has undergone three months of towing, taxi and flight testing for a planned return date sometime in October. None of the other aircraft in the fleet appear to have left the Maintenance Area.

Can we therefore expect the same level of testing for every aircraft? In which case, Concorde AF is going to be worked like a dog until the others are certified - a minor maintenance problem on this aircraft would be pounced on by the media. Would BA not be better off waiting until at least two aircraft in the fleet have regained their C of A?
