At about 18:50 this evening, as I was walking to work (in Reading), I saw Concorde on it's climb out from Heathrow. Absolutely beautiful and still in a league of it's own 34 years after it first flew.
I'm sure that BA have done their sums and found it doesn't add up. I'm also sure that given favourable conditions Virgin could make it work, certainly for the next 10 years.
Maybe the ticket prices need to be increased to cover the costs of the refit. I'm pretty sure that it won't make a difference to me or Sting/Elton John if the prices doubled. I can't afford it anyway and they wouldn't notice the loss of a little more "pocket change"
Concorde is a wonder of the world. Lets not consign it to history just yet.
