Concorde/Fast ships and gas guzzling cars by Derek Copeland
Hi Ian, I have already explained that mistake to 'Welsh' Druid. I'm not really into Ships, but they are apparently catamarans and at least twice as fast as the bog standard, monohull, Ro-Ro car ferries. Can I also admit to typing 'Chrysler' when I meant 'Chevrolet' in my piece on General Motors...

Concorde.... by Derek Copeland
As I am English rather than French, I am not going to defend President de Gaulle, who for years vetoed the UK's applications to join the EEC, and who seemed to hate the British and Americans for winning his country back for him. Compared with the proposed Boeing SST, Concord was a relatively...

Concorde.... by Brian Goodspeed
Miles Aviation designed the aircraft which was re-badged as the Bell X-1 but somehow the Americans conveniently forget that! At 12:54 12 June 2006, Derek Copeland wrote: I strongly suspect that the American airline companies were leaned on by the US Government not to buy Concorde, so that they...

Concorde.... by Derek Copeland
Don't you find it even a little bit worrying 309, that you can visit almost any country in the World and see the same makes and types of aeroplanes, cars, motorcycles and almost any other manufactured goods. Cars are sometimes re-badged to pander to local markets, e.g. General Motors cars are...

Concorde.... by Derek Copeland
Owain, I normally write my pieces first thing in the morning, during my lunch break or after work, and I can type quite quickly, so they do not detract from my work. I am quite a bit bit older than you and probably better qualified (although I don't know what profession you are in). I don't like...

The complete list of gear I'd like to sell is GPS10, L-NAV, GPS-NAV and 80mm aux vario. The software versions aren't the latest so I would listen to reasonable offers.

Concorde.... by Derek Copeland
Thank you ‘309’. You have proved my point exactly, although I didn’t realise quite how much the US Political and Financial systems had also screwed up your own aircraft industry. There is a board game called Monopoly in which the idea is take over all your competitors’ businesses and achieve a...
