Space Forum / Shuttle / July 2005Shuttle read Concorde
The Shuttle will go the same way as Concorde in museums sooner rather than later. A friend of mine worked for BA they said a prayer every time Concorde took off, NASA are doing the same. >The Shuttle will go the same way as Concorde in museums sooner rather than >later. > >A friend of mine worked for BA they said a prayer every time Concorde took >off, NASA are doing the same. What was he then a sodding priest? You do sprout some utter bullshit! BA staff at LHR would go to the hanger door or the office window when it was due off on the mid morning flight. None of them were ever on their knees (apart from one secretary in a manager's office but that's not important right now) If there were levels of care of aircraft in commercial service (which there certainly isn't at BA) Concorde would be at the top of the heap, the aircraft were under utilised, totally corrosion free and perfectly maintained. The aircraft were easily good for another 15-20 years service and the despatch rate was the best in the entire fleet. Oh and for the record BA engineers *only* pray if they go on a 737 (read up on crappy rudder actuators) Thanks for sounding so clearly like an idiot. It makes it easy to figure out who to filter out. **plonk** __________ > The Shuttle will go the same way as Concorde in museums sooner rather than > later. > > A friend of mine worked for BA they said a prayer every time Concorde took > off, NASA are doing the same. Did you not see Concorde catch fire, how many rudders did it lose or have you forgotten. Concorde made an emergency landing at Cardiff where also B A have a depot where my friend works. Believe me or disbelieve me I only state what I was told, believe or disbelieve its you call but the management of BA got their prayer mats out when Concorde was in the air. > Thanks for sounding so clearly like an idiot.

I for one believe you. It's a lot worse than prayer mats for the shuttle though. The undertaker probably starts beveling names on tombstones before the deathtrap even blasts off. > Did you not see Concorde catch fire, how many rudders did it lose or have > you forgotten.

Ah sockpuppets, the last refuse of the incredulous. ----------------------------------------------------------- DW No answer so just abuse > >I for one believe you.
