Concorde's wings clipped
CONCORDE will never fly again, British Airways declared yesterday.
The categorical statement came after a report that the Save Concorde Group wanted the supersonic aircraft to lead a fly-past at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. But a BA spokesman said: "Concorde will not fly again."
Fourteen Concordes, seven belonging to BA and seven to Air France, are on display around the world. One is at the Museum of Flight, at East Fortune.
