I know that there are lots on here with a soft spot for the old girl. You may find this documentary interesting/controversial:

from what i remember a chunk of metal of an American DC10 fell of, Concords tyres ran over it, shredded them, and through metal and rubber up against the wings which caused the fire....

Which was all hushed up to avoid annoying the Americans  ::)

BA also put every serviceable part  beyond repair once they had finished with them, i hear there is a plan to get an air-france one back in the air  :y

Useful one that!

Went to put it on the record list to find that the PVR had thrown away all the digital channels and thus the series-linked record list.  Just managed to re-instate from memory (mine) and add Concorde.

Don't buy LG if you can help it >:(

Thanks Steve :y (You can be SO helpful when you're not concentrating ;D ;D)
