Dear Coppervane,
I am Joe Public. I was all of four years in 1971 and all of ten when in 1977 ( or thereabouts ) the Concorde came to India - Bombay on a world tour for the first time. The fascination with the Concorde started then . :o
It continued 25 years later, when my ex-Chairman an intrepid traveller to London ( he's a crazy guy who's done Bombay-London- Bombay via the morning arrival evening departure flights but more on him later ) used to describe how one lady used to live in London and travel to New York for work and back every day on the Concorde.
Without the Concorde, the Parent Trap would not have a climax !
The romance of flying would be lost forever in the bean counters of accounts and balance sheets ( incidentally I work among them, but then thats a different story)
Let's build up all the support folks for Coppervane's Concorde Cause and hope that Branson ( may his tribe increase
) keeps the magic flying
YA
