aliens.

the resentment economically is that it was paid for with taxpayers money but it was a big story an right that the bbc (another institution paid for by taxpayers money under threat) treat it as such.

Imagine it being flown into the World Trade Centre... Could of happened..

I'm guessing Chris has flown on it then.

It was also profitable just after they relaunched it. I don't see why they would not sell it to Branson.

when i landed at Manchester airport this morning, one of the concordes is parked near the runway and we had to go past it. The captain spoke to us and said there you can see concorde parked up, then nearly everyone started crying. I have flown on it (won the tickets) and I am sad to see it go, but its not hurt me that much for me to start crying when i saw it.
