Scotland’s Sunday Herald is running an article about our favorite (only) supersonic passenger jets that are rusting away to dust. An excerpt:

Three of the four Concordes remaining in the UK are being left to corrode on exposed stretches of tarmac. Campaigners fighting to preserve the supersonic airliner have warned that unless action is taken these symbols of engineering and scientific discovery could be lost to future generations.

“Our national heritage is being left to rot on a forgotten runway. These iconic aircraft represent the single most stunning achievement in Britain’s post-war history, yet they are being allowed to slowly turn to rust,” said Ben Lord of the Save Concorde Group.
