I wonder how affordable it would be

But that led to an interesting article and 5 min interview with the art critic and recently departed Brian Sewell. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-34304203 What a character. Britain doesn't seem to produce his type anymore.

Without approval and support from a design authority (which has consistently been refused ever since she was last flown) this project, like all Concorde to the sky projects since that fateful day, is doomed to be a complete waste of money.

I doubt whether the CAA would grant a license for Concorde to fly again in this country, apart from that, the costs would be enormous let alone maintenance.

But we can always keep on dreaming!!

There has been a press release from the Le Bourget museum stating that their Concorde is definitively NOT for sale, they consider it just as much a piece of French history as the Mona Lisa. I don't see that leaving the country either.

Actually, the part where they plan to have a Concorde on display in the center of London is a good one, a shame they got overenthusiastic and unrealistic...

I think that displaying Concorde in the city is a great idea: interest in the aircraft transcends interest in aviation generally: not everyone who might want to see the aircraft would be willing to make a journey out to one of the aviation museums to see it.

well .. upon further review, I guess since Pepsi got to put their name on it ,,,, why shouldn't Red Bull get theirs on it...

But if they did... I'd call it just -- plane Bull!
sentence commuted ... and a full pardon given...
