Just seen on the news that this Thursday, an A380 will be making a low level flypast over Filton prior to making it's first landing at Heathrow!

Yep, see my post in the original A380 thread (CNB forum) for details.

Maybe we should relaunch concorde and show them how to build real airplanes!

Nah, just need to convince the British Government to let Branson fly a couple.

BA and Air France were discussing a merger at one point to keep the concorde flying for another 20 years. But it didn't happen, and BA wouldn't sell.

Interestingly, BA still own their Concordes, but expect underfunded museums to pay for the upkeep. In my book, that's not on. :tuttut:
