Maybe not. But then there isn't to keep Spirfires or Lancasters or
Hurricanes or Hunters flying, or returning Vulcans, Lightnings or
Buccaneers to the air.

I am not an aviation buff by any means, but I would say the sheer size and
complexities of Concorde, not least the more specialist parts it needs, are
prohibitive for Airbus to keep it flying for such un-occasional use.

I expect all the others listed fly, or are being fixed to re-fly, with
donations of hundreds or thousands of pounds. Surely Concorde would cost
millions to keep flying - and nobody is going to pay that!

I admit it is a shame - I was there at Heathrow to watch the last landings.

And, isn't it a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted?
All the Concorde's have gone, or are going, to their new static homes -
there isn't a Concorde left to fly is there??
