I seem to remember that when BA and Air France were shutting down
Concorde, Richard Branson and Virgin wanted to buy up and operate
some of them (I think he said at the time that he would operate them
even at a loss just for the prestige of having the worlds only
supersonic passenger plane). But it didnt happen (I guess because
the airports, UK/french governments and the manufacturers who would
have had to keep making parts for the things didnt want them flying
anymore)

He seems to have been doing that for the publicity. The amount that he
was saying that he'd have to pay Airbus for parts was way, way less than
the amount Airbus was saying they'd want to keep producing them.
