I just want the Concorde to come back. I never got to fly on it. But I did hear that they might bring it back.

Martyn Evans
Having visited Corncord at Manchester Airport was unable to get on board in Sept 2005 It was a magnificent site and able to walk under neath was fantastic. However to visit Alpha Echo at Grantly Adams airport Barbados was a truely amazing 3 hours we spent on the island. The government and Tourist industry of Barbados have simply toally acheived an outstanding diplay of the history and memorabilia which has its own hanger of this truely remarkable joint Anglo French acheivement. Question ? Why as proud of it as a nation we are, Why isnt anything being done to preserve and display it in the manner in which it deserves.

Bradley Wakefield
I never flew her, but I love Concorde, we have never built an airliner like her, and that is over 30 years ago, she was the queen of the skies, and if there is a way to bring her back, i'm up for it!

Mark
A Brill Aircraft something to be really proud of. I know because I have flown on it. And I just prey that someone gets one air ready. and not just confined to a Museum. Mark

Timothy Hooper
I seen the first Concord pulled out of the hanger at Filton. I was standing at the top of Fishpool hill when i was five, 40 years ago.It was and still is a fantastic feat of engineering. To me, the name concord taught me when people or countries work together great things can be accomplished. Goodbye Concord and god bless.

George
The termination of concorde flight was a giant leap back for mankind.

Ken
Concorde was the culmination of the `golden` era of jet aviation now most aircraft look the same wether they are Boeing, Airbus or Embraer. ps Joe the British spelling is tyres not american tires

Joe
I believe Americans made the tires

Diz
The best thing about it was that it was 0% American
