I wish them well. Anything can be done with enough money and there’s plenty of money swilling around still, albeit nowhere near me!

What would essentially be a restaurant with a Concorde on it is going to do well in the centre of London, just look at how popular the AVP at Manchester is these days.

A return to flight would obviously be hard, but I find it unlikely the organisation wouldn’t already realise this. They don’t seem to be particularly shaking the donation bucket, concentrating more on big business and individuals who would like their names tied to it. Times change, because its not going to happen tomorrow doesn’t mean it might not in the future.

As with the Vulcan, it doesn’t really take any money away from other projects because its largely different money. The £18m Man would reach far more people with one Concorde than spreading it amongst the whole aviation community.
