[Romantic Old Bird]

I can remember all the hype when it was launched. Then of course the stories about how much it would cost, it would never break even etc.........

However in the late sixties it fitted in so well with our belief that we were striding forward in giant steps. Moonlandings, boldly going, popart, all these super modern building we loved so much. It fitted in so well with the moment.

I think we may return to commercial supersonic flight one day, unless of course we learn how to beam ourselves up!
