What a wonderful project! And what a nice follow-on from the soon to be retired Vulcan.

Would be cool. But surely their airframes are finished and would struggle being pressurised at 60,000ft ?

As far as I'm aware there was plenty of life left in the airframes – it was just that the Paris disaster gave the airlines a good excuse to finish loss-making operations and also pander to the Green lobby. I suspect the future for supersonic transportwill be the same: development costs will never be recovered from revenues. But that didn't stop the Victorians I did it?

That would be amazing, but I hope it''ll be safe too.

Would be great to see them in the skies again - I still have fond memories of hearing them jet over my house when growing up
