This Friday will see the last flight of Concorde and it's expected that the M25 and the surrounding area will be grid locked as people gather to see the final landing. Ironically BA could save Concorde by selling them to Virgin, but they probably couldn't stomach the PR disaster that having Concorde with Virgin logos on them would bring. Also does that mean that the big static model of Concorde on the access road to Heathrow will now be moved? All the political and financial reasons aside I can't be the only person who sees the irony of the untimely death of supersonic transport; here we are in the 21st Century, information moves around the planet at the speeds unheard of just ten years ago but us, the really important bit of modern society get subsonic cattle trucks with wings. Whilst Concorde was still flying there was always hope that someone else might just build a newer better aircraft, but now the model on the way to Heathrow will remind me that for most of us air travel will continue to be a chore rather than a pleasure.
