No, no, rdgard....
This wasn't aimed at you at all. My response was to Terry who complained
(understandably) how the British citizen
had to underwrite the costs of Concorde
operations and what a losing proposition
the whole thing turned out to be as a
passenger carrier, despite the technological knowledge/insights, etc.
it's manufacture engendered to the
aviation industry as a whole.
I mean, let's face it. Had oil prices remained reasonable as in
pre-Concorde production days, many
more of these planes would still be
flying today. Good concept, good idea,
poor timing with respect to nationalization
of Middle East oil fields, OPEC and
"fair trading" pricing.
