"The engines on a French Concorde are to be examined as the first move in a £15m project aiming to get the supersonic passenger jet back in the air. The Rolls Royce engines of the former Air France Concorde will undergo an initial examination to see what work needs to be done to start the engines." According to the BBC!

Well it's a lovely thought

Kind regards

They are restoring it to ground running

There was also an April fool hoax about it flying againput out by the Museum

I just wonder if thease two stories have been mixed up???

On this occasion I'm delighted to say that I don't think it is

Kind regards

John

PS It seems it's looking good, for the taxining potential, but there is no plan to fly her

HI John

That is how I understood the project......it was to taxy not fly and this was announced some time ago

I gues this is just them starting toe work.

A similar thing happened with the Freighter returning to ground running in NZ........some took that to mean it was going to fly again

I can't see a Concorde ever flying again as the type was grounded........it wasn't like some other type that just faded away until there were no more.

It seems it all went really well!

Here's some pictures...

Cheers John

The restoration is without doubt and been planned for a while now.....to ground running/taxying condition.

I still can't see it ever flying again sadly.

Thanks for the update gentlemen.
