Have just been reading the publics view on Concorde from Sky News

Its amazing how many people think Branson shoud carry on with it, the amount of misinformation out there like people who think the government paid for the 2000/2001 upgrades, the fact it it obsolete technology and that it is very fuel inefficient! This guy that made me chuckle:

What a sad end to one of Britain's great achievements. I was lucky enough to be on the inaugural passenger flight from Bahrain on 22 January, 1976 together with HRH The Duke of Kent, the late Brian Trubshaw and many other celebrities. It was an exciting experience and I never regretted it although flying first class in a jumbo is far more comfortable! The real shame is why won't the Government and BA let Richard Branson continue to make use of a unique part of British history.
