crazy canuck,

I'm not going to get into the name calling, but why do all these details matter so much to you?

You love Concorde as much as many of us do, and much more than some. You've had the chance to fly her, and I think more than once. When you flew her on the LHR-BOS trip, it was (as I understood it) for the soon-to-be-gone-forever Concorde experience, not because you had to be in BOS faster than the speed of sound. There are tens of thousands of people in the UK and elsewhere who love Concorde equally as much as we do, and who have never had the luck or good fortune to have that experience even once, and whose dreams of ever doing so are now forever lost.

When your aircraft went tech, you were put onto the hot spare and had the entire Concorde experience, just a few hours late. Wouldn't it perhaps be better just to count your extraordinary blessings, share your good experiences (particularly with those who are green with envy that you ever got to do what you did and who would love to hear how much fun you had doing it), and revel in the memories?
