Hmmmm.
Richard Branson approached BA regarding buying their fleet, BA refused that idea......
Richard Branson has now offered BA a new deal. The deal would be that both he and BA would operate the concorde, either sharing the costs, or Virgin to handle the costs. Richard also included in his offer that both the BA and Virgin schemes would e represented on each airframe, very much like BA and Singapore Airlines did back in the late 70's/ early 80's.
Perhaps if BA reject this proposal, he could approach Air France and see if they are a lttle more accomodating.
What really gets my goat up is the fact that it was the British public that paid for the BA concordes via the government. The Concorde you see was a government funded project, and who pays the government...........the tax payer.
BA deny this and say that they paid for the aircraft outright, although, no documentation has come forward to prove this point.....
Air France may have ceased their flight operations on her, BA will continue till the end of October, but i'm sure it wont be the last time the Concorde finds its way back to the skies.
