I wonder if they can really do this, it would be great if it happened.

I am going to say it will never get off the ground. The CAA will never allow it to fly in "civilian" hands....

I agree with Matt. No way would they get permission to carry passengers. Even if the CAA agreed to issue limited display approval I can't see any manufacturer being willing to take design responsibility for it, as Marshall Aerospace did for the Vulcan. I don't think BAE Systems or EADS would be interested.

Alas the CAA will be firmly against it. Pity

As said, the CAA won't be the issue. Concorde is a different case entirely as it was a civilian aeroplane and isn't ex-military, which is the problem TVOC/VTTS and other historic jet owners have found. It has other advantages too, and it has more commercial potential than a military jet.
The stopper will likely be EADS. I wonder if they actually have all the money they say they have too.
