Looked to me like an attempt to nip in the bud all the PR Branson is milking without a cat in hells chance of succeeding.

That was one of my first thoughts as well :rolleyes:

OK well she has been fixed now. It was just a a standard fuel tank problem, of which BA has about 5 of each month all across the fleet.

The Barbados flights have now stopped, and with only 2 flights a day now, 4 aircraft is still too much. I could never understand why they needed 5 aircraft back into service anyway.

BOAA and BOAB were withdrawn a while back I think? I dont think BA will bother to do anything about putting BOAC back in the skys befroe the concordes time is up.

The sooner the type is withdrawn from service the better. It was a magnificent aircraft in its day, but its day has now passed and it is time for its C of A to be withdrawn, so when it has had its final BA flight no other operator can fly it.

Another bad blow for Concorde. And for Richard Branson too come to think of it.
