Looks like some real aviation buffs are trying to bring concorde back. Hopefully the ejits in Health and Safety will be reasonable. More details here.:D

I'd be the first in line for a spin on Concorde as it's one of my few regrets in life that i never got to fly on her. That said,the realist in me knows this will never go far and there's zero chance of one of them majestic birds being returned to flight.

I agree. It will never fly again but it would be nice to see it taxying around and people taking tours of it.

It would be worth a day trip to manchester to see that.

I particularly like the idea someone came up with about Jeremy Clarkson putting it on top gear. Imagine a closed runway, clarkson in a car v concorde.

It would be a "living" museum.
