Not bad at all.

Concorde to be restored to perform fast taxi runs:

This is great news if it happens!
Just like the aircraft at Bruntigthorpe are kept in good enough condition to perform fast taxi runs, imagine seeing Concorde speed down the runway. It would be amazing!

Re: Plane Spotters Corner

:clap: great news...

It always shocks me as to how they mothballed the entire fleet.. Surely they had offers from groups to keep one of these iconic planes flying?? I'm also suprised that EADS and British Aerospace didn't offer to keep one flying...

It's also worth noting that Richard Branson wanted to buy them and operate them under Virgin, BA refused.

We lost all the Concordes, now this :mad:. Surely there is a way to keep it flying? I have been lucky enough to see Vulcans fly, including this one at last years Blackpool airshow. Awesome...:D

Fantastic, now you may not believe this, but I have NEVER seen XH558 fly, and was beginning to think I never would.

Need to get myself to Waddington this year, would have like to have gone to Fairford for RIAT but doubt i'll be able to get there.

Same here Jon. I've only seen her either in the hanger being restored or taxi-ing.
I really want to see her lift off and roar through the skies.
