Concorde Questions....

Who owns the Concordes that are in the museums and could any of them fly again in the future if they were wanted to be operated by BA/AF again?

thanks for the site info, it answers everything apart from my question about if BA/AF wanted to operate one of the aircraft again, could it be done?

Great series wasn't it? I am wanting it on DVD if it ever comes out. Long Live "Le Chateaux Anglais"

So that's 1 out of 2 questions then!

I think most, if not all, spare parts were sold in some way or another, and to be airworthy the aircraft would need these (?). Seeing as they are not manufactured at all, you'd probably have to build a new Concorde to get an old one flying again. Doesn't strike me as Hot Rod's next golden business opportunity. I think he's happier knowing it will never fly again so that it's still just a BA/AF thing.

No facts to back up any of this of course, it's just my opinion.

Also, I believe their wings have been 'cut off' in a manner which would preclude their satisfactory reattachment with regards to airworthiness.
