Angry Concord support

May I remind previous posters that most aircraft contracts state on the subject of technical and spare parts support that the manufacturer shall support the aircraft type when there are an x number of this type STILL IN OPERATION.
Fairly standard commitment.
Now compare the 747, or Fokkers, and Concord again.
It's a contractual obligation.
If the x number is is low as three, Branson or whoever will not be able to make any commercial sense out of that.

I stand corrected if there is a person around who actually knows the Concord contract to be different , but I doubt it.

Nothing to do with Airbus/Boeing attitude/ new sales opportunities or whatever cr@p is being spouted in this thread.
