May I echo a plea that
ChristiaanJ has already
posted on this thread, and respectfully suggest that we try and keep this thread free from opinions and debate about the Gonesse accident and the subsequent withdrawal of Concorde from commercial service?
Most contributors to this thread will doubtless have strongly held opinions and views on both these topics. Some have posted comments here, but whilst I respect their views and their knowledge, are not these topics already more than adequately catered for on other threads and forums? Frankly, I have to confess that I have grown weary with most such threads, and, in general, neither read them nor contribute to them.
I do, however, greatly value having just one Concorde thread devoted purely to technical comments, anecdotes and personal reminiscences. Perhaps, if others feel similarly, we might try and keep this thread that way?
Happy New Year
