hope so...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Not wanting to sound negative, but there are some very significant obstacles to the Concorde flying again; there is no longer any manufacturing support by either Airbus & Rolls Royce, and given the complexity of the aircraft, there is very little chance of being granted legislative approval to fly again.

Lastly the sheer noise associated with the Concorde would preclude its operation from most locations, not to mention the liability & operating costs...:cry:

They'd need to redesign the fuel tanks to avoid the recurring problem that caused the 2000 crash at Charles de Gaulle airport. That accident was not the first time the fuel tanks were ruptured by debris from a blown tire, but it was the worst incident. I'd imagine there would be many other recent (since 2003) environmental regulations to adjust to as well. It would be cool to see it flying again, though. We'd see some awesome shots from some of the photogs here on POTN.
