Concorde - join the campaign
Hi all,
The campaign to get Concorde flying again has attracted 2,000 signatures this week! Please add your support at www.save-concorde.com. To sum up the situation: - we aren't arguing with the reasons Concorde went out of service - the airframes were over 25 years old, whereas the average age of British Airways fleet is less than five years - Airbus receives billions of Euros every year in subsidy - it has a duty to build the best planes it can for the people of Europe - the A380 and A350 (which hasn't yet started) are highly questionable projects - fresh Concorde air-frames could be built by Airbus at modest cost, and given that R&D has already been written-off, the tickets could be priced much lower. PLEASE add your support to the petition at www.save-concorde.com We'll then be in a stronger position to talk to parties who have the financial muscle to fund this project (we've already been told things that can't be published here, but if you contact the Save Concorde group via the website, you can find out more) |

PLEASE add your support to the petition at www.save-concorde.com If you are genuinely interested in getting people to look at your site, you ought to consider putting a "skip" button on the site for those people who can't view Shockwave, or preferably lose the flashy features on the front page altogether. Anyway, what engines are you proposing to use with these new Concorde airframes? -- Dave Fossett Saitama, Japan |

To sum up the situation: - we aren't arguing with the reasons Concorde went out of service - the airframes were over 25 years old, whereas the average age of British Airways fleet is less than five years Are you sure the average BA plane is 5? - Airbus receives billions of Euros every year in subsidy - it has a duty to build the best planes it can for the people of Europe Agreed, but what does that have to do with Concorde? - the A380 and A350 (which hasn't yet started) are highly questionable projects This has what do do with Concorde? - fresh Concorde air-frames could be built by Airbus at modest cost, and given that R&D has already been written-off, the tickets could be priced much lower. The tickets still wouldn't pay the costs.

As someone who used to live under its flight path in London (it's 4.30pm, turn up the radio), do you have a place to vote against its noisy return, or is this a one-sided democrat vote? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
