    Concorde was the symbol of modern aviation…. 40 years ago. Why would an airline spend precious money on what is effectively a dinosaur from a previous age? BA need to look to the future, not the past.

    One might point out that if it was a symbol of modern aviation 40yrs ago then its interesting that there has been no replacement for it, in other words, no other supersonic airliner.. I’d say it was more of a step back than forward when she was retired..

    Also BA promised to lookafter the concordes and retained ownership so its their duty to lookafter them.. Why would they retain ownership if they werent prepared to lookafter them? Or maybe it was just so that Sir Richard Branson couldnt get hold of one back in 2003 and kept it flying.

    What a gash article, this so called “expert” seems to know an awful lot of garbage :rolleyes:
    He’s talking out of his back passage.

    Exactly what I thought. You would of thought being such an ‘expert’ he would know to keep his mouth shut and not speculate. Typical info you get from someone who knows nothing about flying and makes those of us who do fly look bad.

    Sad news about the crash 🙁

    Its the fact that, as Ren Frew has stated, she’ll be removed from her main operational base. Filton has a concorde for obvious reasons, but LHR was where BA’s concordes were based yet if she leaves for Dubai then there will be nothing to show that concorde ever flew from LHR considering the model has been replaced by an Emirates A380.

    So if BA really want rid of Concorde how would they feel if a certain Sir Richard Branson decided he wanted to buy it and either get it flying again (i know, wishful thinking) or slap big Virgin atlantic stickers on it and put it on display at LHR?
