Manston museum battle for Concorde, and plan to fly it to Melbourne.....Florida
The most ultra confusing article from BBCNews.com ever!
Article starts about being how Manston are hoping to bring a BA Concorde in after retirement but then starts on about an agreement to fly to Melbourne, Florida
er, is this trying to say Manston plan to fly a Concorde to Melbourne, FL
This confused me

Yes, some media horny museum director is actually claiming he want to fly from Kent to Florida... Some people will say anything to get some publicity...
What's he going to use to pay for all of this? Lottery grant money?

I agree with Morgo.
It reads to me as a v short piece in that the Manston Airport is in discussions with BA to get a Concorde for their museum followed by an unrelated story about the airport starting charter flights to Florida next year. It isn't trying to suggest that the airport is planning to run Concorde charters to Florida
