The really strange things here are :

We have a Concorde at LHR, which BA would snap the hands off anyone with a funded sensible plan for, but BA refuse to deal with club Concorde. I would suggest they have done their due diligence and are quietly laughing?

So Club Concorde come up with a plan B for a Concorde on the Thames - buy a Concorde from a small French Museum, where its owned by the local people. They plan to give all the locals €300 each.

Everyone knows Concorde can't fly again after the support infrastructure and spares logistics were disbanded in 2003, coupled to the fact that the design authority Airbus are 100% not in favour; so who would provided £120m of funding with no return?

The Concorde they are targeting to fly, F-BTSD at Le Bourget, is a French heritage artefact, owed by the Republic of France in the same way they own the Mona Lisa. Do with think thy will let a load of Brits come over and nab it.


I think quiet news day all around for a web only ' journalist' at Telegraph sums it all up.
