Collectors bid for Concorde mementoes

Concorde's demise is blamed on poor passenger figures. It may be six months before Concorde makes its last flight, but already the bargain hunters are eyeing up "collectables" from the aircraft.

British Airways say hundreds of museum curators, collectors and bargain hunters have been in touch with requests to buy Concorde mementoes.

Article closes with:
BA has so far made no indication of how it will dispose of the magnificent flying machines, which took to the skies in 1969. One thing is for certain, the spokesman stressed: "They're not for sale for another airline to operate."
