October 29, 20196 yr I dream of having a subscription to fly on the Concorde any time I want. Barry Friedman
October 29, 20196 yr Author 1 hour ago, FDEdev said: Do you mean Concorde? I did indeed.. Naming[edit] Reflecting the treaty between the British and French governments that led to Concorde's construction, the name Concorde is from the French word concorde (IPA: [kɔ̃kɔʁd]), which has an English equivalent, concord. Both words mean agreement, harmony or union. The name was officially changed to Concord by Harold Macmillan in response to a perceived slight by Charles de Gaulle. At the French roll-out in Toulouse in late 1967,[37] the British Government Minister for Technology, Tony Benn, announced that he would change the spelling back to Concorde.[38] This created a nationalist uproar that died down when Benn stated that the suffixed "e" represented "Excellence, England, Europe and Entente (Cordiale)". In his memoirs, he recounts a tale of a letter from an irate Scotsman claiming: "[Y]ou talk about 'E' for England, but part of it is made in Scotland." Given Scotland's contribution of providing the nose cone for the aircraft, Benn replied, "t was also 'E' for 'Écosse' (the French name for Scotland) – and I might have added 'e' for extravagance and 'e' for escalation as well!"[39] Robin "Onward & Upward" ...

October 29, 20196 yr I will give a long and serious thought to 'obtaining' MSFS as I have done with every single purchase I have made in my flight simming career. I will weigh up the pros and cons in a emotionless manner. I have NEVER succumbed to peer pressure or been swayed by posts expressing how bloody fantastic an aircraft is or how beautiful a piece of scenery is purported to be. All together now...BULL...STUFF!
