RE: Concorde
Never mind models, it's a bloody crime that they grounded the full size one. I drive past Heathrow every day, and there it is, all shiny and white, it looks like something from the next century, not the last. They should have kept at least one flying, all we're left with is Boeing's and Airbuses, and I have trouble telling them apart.
I know I'm gonna be told to shut up, but I thought air travel was suspposed to shrink the world!,..... It has just got a little larger!!!!!

RE: Concorde
Just to update you, I hear on good authority that BA has virtually given up in its attempt to keep one Concorde flying as Airbus Industries , the design authority, will not support it.
If they REALLY want to get that large model flying, I can put them in touch with a former Concorde test pilot living in London and my daughter's boyfriend's father who was on the Concorde aerodynamics team. That might help, although looking at the model it seems the wing contours are not the same as the fullsize aircraft.
