(A Concorde still needs much more fuel than your average tank.)


You mean like most aircraft? ;)

LOL, i think he is quite rightly pointing out that most aircraft use more fuel than 'your average tank'  :P

It would cost a hell of a lot to get something like that in the air again plus maintenance and fuel costs and is one hell of a project. It would be great if she did but I seriously doubt she will fly again... plus, we have more important aircraft to focus our money on! (XH558, G-CVIX)!   ;D :)
