There goes the Heritage.

Given that there is only one Vulcan still airworthy and that it was saved by donations to a Trust, I understand that it would now be impossible to restore a Concorde to airworthy condition at any time.
:(

Our lot have just broken up 24 F-111s, 7 will be retained but the conditions put on their ownership are too restrictive to make it worthwhile.
:(

We also just gave 4 C-130 Hercs. to Indonesia!
:(

That is quite sad.

I remember watching Concorde taking off in the dark one evening when I was driving near Heathrow - what a sight! (and what a sound!)

Magical

Pam. Thanks for the photos. Sadly I have had to miss this years Farnboro show, so it's been nice to get a little glimpse of the action

Not here. But then it wasn't flying anymore when we moved here, so it might have been here previously. But hubby's flown to New York on it on a duty trip!
