WOK: Five BA Concs (not 3) have returned to flight status, the sixth is on hold until market conditions are more favourable, the seventh would only be required when a board decision was taken to return to running a very comprehensive charter programme.
BRISTOLRE: Is there any plans to use the Concordes "not in service" of the G-BOAA to BOAG airframes for cannibalisation as the source of parts on the other airframes expire?
I thought I had read somewhere that it had already been decided that the seventh aircraft (presumably G-BOAA, the last in the queue for the safety modifications) would not be modified and would be cannibalised. I hope that these posts indicate that that isn't true.
