I can see national standards for boarding ladders/ramps at museums coming out of this.
And to play it safe, they’ll make the Eiffel Tower look underengineered.
You won’t be able to see the plane for the scaffolding.

Peter.

There are a couple of ways of looking at this. It is an absolute tragedy for the man concerned, his family and the Museum.

I think access will be banned while the museum’s insurers wait to find out what the family will do. The next point is what will the family do? How litiginous will they be?

I fear that this could be a turning point in whether people are ever allowed to board Museum aircraft.

Whatever happens, our first thoughts should be with those directly affected by this tragedy.

Will this affect the opening of the Concorde? I hope this will not be used as an excuse to close her off.
