The history of that aircraft is amazing, the poor thing never stood a chance, shafted from day one by corporate interests.

Never got the opportunity to fly on one and looks like I never will. They look much smaller than say a 737 does.

I did fly Concorde on a number of occasions service excellent comfort O.K but in truth built for speed as opposed to comfort.
As rgs2001uk states, ''the aircraft was a pawn in corporate, political and international air travel infighting.

One took off right in front of the plane we'd been sweating in for over an hour on the tarmac.
The delay was forgotten as we watched that thing take off....absolutely majestic!
