From Globorati:
When Concorde was put out to pasture in 2003, it marked the first time in aviation history that man had gone back in speed. But now the supersonic dream may return to the skies. A consortium led by Richard Branson is angling to refit one of the former planes as a "heritage craft," and already has the support of 30,000 Save Concorde acolytes. If successful, the Club Concorde campaign could bring the world's fastest commercial jet out of retirement within three years — and would signal a major marketing victory for the Virgin chief over rivals, British Airways, who with Air France operated the trans-Atlantic service from 1976.
