Question Concorde, What's happening?

It has all gone very quiet on the Concorde front lately. Not even a mention in 'Nigels News'.
Wouldn't it be a bit of a morale booster to get the baby running again. Also show 'Summer Bed Linnen' that life goes on!

Thumbs up

Saw a Concorde departing LHR,I think 26L,around 1045 local last Friday the 5th Oct. Sun bright in the south east, backdrop of towering cumulus and blue sky. Very beautiful and still such a stunning sight. Life goes on and will return to good times. That will be the greatest victory against terrorism.

A rumour runs in Air France that it is due to be back on line on the 5th of November, at the same time as the BA's.

I posted about a week ago, the reaction seeing Concorde in flight had in our office. She sounded great, and looked superb and many noses were pressed up against the glass in awe.

Unfortunately my posting was not deemed to be news at the time and was deleted completely by a moderator.

All I was trying to do was bring a smile to what had been a painfull few weeks posting on this site

ce la vie........

I for one look forward to the day that Concorde goes revenue again, and like to think it would be a positive thing for avaition all round.

And I thought women only had PMS...

I agree that it may be a good target but...

What can keep up with it for it to be targeted? it goes soooo fast..

And the security is V tight at LHR, LGW I dont think many will be able to sneak in.

so..

BRING BACK CONCORD!!! I MISS HER!

Markbingo,

we could start a club, or a political movement against discriminatory deletions (can I be the dictator for life, like in Calvin and Hobbes?)

REVOLUTION!!!!

Talking

flyblue

Apparently Getting excited about Concorde flying again soon, and seeing it go by is not news. It's a question.

Apparently.




P.S. I second your nomination....
