Welcome back Landlady
Here's a question for you - how often did they surprise shuttle pax with Concorde as a replacement?
...and for the rest of you, roughly how much in terms of fuel would a shuttle flight in Concorde cost BA versus say a B737 or A320?
(i.e. it was obviously done for
PR sakes as much as anything, but was it really costly?)
