I remember once sitting down the back of the 'parking express' bus on the way to LHR's T4 some months after the old girl was grounded.

As we rounded the back of the BA maintenance sheds, there were 3 Concs parked in a row, obviously powered down, with all the ailerons and rudders flapping about.

The bus was quite full, but as we drove past those three sleek and sexy jets the chatter died down momentarily as nearly everyone swung round to have a peek. I heard more than one person whisper 'look at those'....

It's a magical aircraft, and one that will always be loved and bring out crowds to see it.

If Beardo does get his hands on a few, given his marketing expertise I wouldn't be surprised if he could just pull it off. Here's hoping hey?
