CONCORDE VS DELOREAN



Ok - and this may have been mentioned before but I felt it 
particularly pertinent at the moment since everyone is banging on 
about Concorde's final flight. I made an interesting discovery today. 
I was talking to a guy who worked in financial circles in the past 
and he reckons that when taking into account research, development 
etc, each Concorde cost the government about £1.32billion. (I believe 
they sold each Concorde to BA for about a pound). During their 
working lives each Concorde brought in about £600 million. Which 
leaves about a £700 million gap on EACH OPERATING CONCORDE. Does 
anyone notice anything significant about people continually moaning 
about a few quid that DMC (ok ganted, a few million quid) blew away 
in the few years it was operating. I am quite willing to agree that 
these figures may be approx. but even so there is a hefty deficit.

Yeah ok, so Concorde might look cool, but does it have gull wing 
doors? I think not.
