Sorry, but this thread is getting like Branson's comment on Friday (to Sky News, I believe):

He said something to the effect that BA wanted to kill off Concorde because BA can then 'force' the passengers onto their premium cabins as they have been rather empty...

Also, I wish to point out that recently, Branson hasn't been pushing to fly Concorde under VS. He wants to push one or two Concorde to keep flying 'on special occasions'. While one doesn't exclude the other, read what you like into it. He only mentions flying Concorde under VS if he's asked.
