It would be great to see Concorde flying again but sadly, I don't think it will happen. I am willing to be corrected though if it does happen.

It would be great if they can do it. We have spitfires, mosquitos and all sorts of other aircraft that are maintained for heritage reasons and come out for a few airshows a year, and the campaign to get the Vulcan flying again was finally a success so it would be nice to have one operational Concorde.

I would love to see Concorde flying at air shows. She used to regularly fly over my parents garden in Ascot and looked so special everyone would just stop what they were doing until she had gone!

I don't see it flying again, Airbus pulled all support for it, so while we may see it taxi around, it is very doubtful that it will ever fly again.
