It seems a shame to ground an aircraft that has had extensive inspections after the paris disaster.
I dont remember boeings or airbuses being put under the microscope as severly as CONCORD.
Ba and air france are both financial disasters at the moment.
The weak excuse by Lord Marshall about spares is total rubbish.
Its merely about having control.
If Ba dont want concord and someone with the British aviation circle {doesnt have to be Branson}is willing to make a sensible bid then Eddington should let it go.
Keep it flying since all uk tax payers paid for it in the first place.
