Thats good. But a shame... Do you think Concorde will look good in virgin paint?

And £1!!! I could afford that! (not sure on the running costs though....)

The quid thing Craig was the French and English governments writing off all the development costs, and then naming a nominal sum the airlines had to pay.
As for Concorde in Virgins paint scheme, I can think of worse

Ozzy

Ken you possess a singularly smutty mind, not gutter but sewer level. Congratualtions

i wont put a comment like the one i removed perhaps to harsh.
but i dont know what virgin is thinking about when they say they can make a profit using lower prices, even with a full load at BA's current prices concorde's profit margin wasnt all that much and required a few full loads a day to make it truely profitable.

a few things i have read round the net,
firstly if branson did get one or two he wouldnt be able to paint them up in the virgin livery because of the heat it would just peel off or melt(dont know which) that was the first i read about.
second one was BA could call his bluff and sell him them and watch branson have some serious back peddling when he realises just how much poorer he could be because of it.
another was southwest airlines ??? what the f*ck were looking at getting one, why and how would they have a use for it, the plane couldnt go supersonic on any of the routes southwest flys let alone being able to afford to run it for more than a week.
i would love for it to stay flying but like i said, perhaps its time to put this one out to pasture. its a beautiful plane, perhaps the only plane almost anyone with eyes and ears could identify. but hey ya never know, i suppose we will know by october, one thing i am hoping is BA agree to giving one to filton as has been requested, seeing as it is its home base they really should, definatly be taking a drive up there to watch it come in if they do

Why would the paint melt of? (I know the answer ) If BA and Air France can paint the why not Virgin.
