I personally think as well that the concorde is old and outdated, however, it will be a sad sight when the last concordes touch down at LHR, however, eventually an airline manufacturer might decide to build another one in years to come, which will be far more safer and cheaper than the current version. Times have changed, and like some people who said, it no longer by pilots deciding what airraft types are flown, but rather accountants.
I will be going to see concorde at Manchester as even though it is getting very old it is still the best aircraft in the skies and it will be a sad sight when it takes off again bound for London Heathrow, times will change and there has being lots of safety concerns about it recently, and if another one did crash, the airline operating it could get lots of bad press for keeping an aircraft that has gone past the end of its life in the skies and placing their customers in danger.
But who knows what the future may bring, hopefully another supersonic passenger aircraft that is affordable to all, and not just the elite or expense accounts.
I think that BA should rightfully retire one of the concordes at Barbados as it has done that route for years, and it will be a popular site at the airport
at the moment count me as a yes, it just depends if I have any university assignments to do around that time, I will post my mobile number to you now Kev, and I will post on monday 22th if I can make it – but it should be yes as I will make sure all of my work is out of the way.
By the way, I might be able to persuade my mate to come along as well.
Why cant they put a reverse gear on these things

Oh well, at least you are close(ish) to the home of Airbus – and one of the best airports do get lots of static viewing – TLS
I would hardly say any airline food is memorable, cause their all okay but I wouldnt exactly give them a high rating.
THe worst one I ever tried was in 1997 on Monarch from Luton – Gran Canaria – it was supposed to be chicken and something else but it tasted like something else and that put me off airline food for quite a long time. I usually but a meal deal at boots and eat it on the plane as I would rather eat that than what is served on board.
