Concorde - join the campaign by
Derek Copeland
Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic fame wanted to buy
British Airway's Concords (only the Froggy version
had an 'e' in its name) when they took them out of

if it is noisy and expensive to ride...

I suspect BA did not sell because they would also have
lost all their top aircrew and engineers, etc.

events and do proefessional...

Unless I am mistaken or
he has sold it, the glider pictured belongs to Wayne
Spani and is a
beautifully restored Ka-8.
I had the opportunity to fly it once, and it is a...
