    Have you got change of £50 million at least? The BA aircraft are decommissioned and from the press release that you may not have looked at, the French partner says the intention is to taxy only. There’s also a small problem that there’s no simulator for the ex-Concorde pilots to (or anyone else for that matter) to gain currency on the type. There are no spare parts going to be made so once it goes tech that’s it. There’s no Certificate of Airworthiness.

    If you are able to sort out all those problems, then you can get Concorde to fly. But the major stumbling block may be what the Save Concorde Group and the Olympus 593 Group are going to say to each other!

    Press release says starting engines only

    Not quite the same story is it, starting engines only or getting it to fly. Someone is hoodwinking people, and it’s not any of the Olympus 593 group.

    Cheers BSG-75. Excellent news for you as well (having been in redundancy position 4 times in 4 years with my ex-boss, it is very depressing to not know what’s going on.). Good job there wasn’t a swear thread in 2008 as i think I’d have got a ban with the language I’d have been coming out with (dad died April, mum died December with me almost dying then being made redundant a week later!).

    Another thing to make you smile… a certain politician being caught off guard making inapporpriate comments on microphone about someone they just met and then trying to squirm their way out of the repercussions.

    Being offered a job after 6 weeks of being unemployed…chance to work with my ex-boss again over 18 months after we said our “goodbyes” after 4 years working together.

    Just found another service that goes nearby (to/from Altrincham interchange): 88 timetable.

    Service 200 runs directly to the AVP and goes from the airport bus station. It’s hourly from 0916 to 1716. The return leaves at 25 past the hour and should be £1.50 return. 200 timetable

    Or you can get the 18 at the bus station to the cargo centre and walk from there (it’s about 10 minutes). Was 80p one-way. 18 timetable

    But we also had this bit:

    “I also asked at the entry/exit kiosk and was given the following explanation:

    ‘The multi entry tickets have been temporarily withdrawn from sale while a replacement multi entry ticket system is devised and introduced. It is anticipated this would take approximately two weeks to put in place. Multi entry tickets will then be reintroduced.'”

    No, it’s going to be SQ328, SQ8318 and SQ8328 (some person didn’t spot the “8” in front of the 328 when broadcasting these flights elsewhere!). Missed out on a Cathay 777 as they decided to operate the “rescue” flight there and send the freight service normally going to LHR through MAN instead.
