Virgin Atlantic
has confirmed that it is to unveil a poster campaign as part of its
efforts to keep Concorde flying. The poster campaign shows a retired Air France Concorde with its engines and tail fin removed with the lines
"BA's talking scrap" and "Don't let BA carve up Concorde". The poster will be
displayed at sites in BA's heartland.
Sir
Richard Branson commented:
"This campaign is designed to highlight the tragedy of allowing Concorde to
be taken out of service and grounded. Both Air France and British Airways
pledged that all the decommissioned Concordes would go to good homes including aviation museums as static displays. Indeed BA has gone further
and announced publicly it is keeping one Concorde flying as a result of pressure from both the public and ourselves. However the picture of an Air
France Concorde in Germany clearly illustrates the reality of the future of many
of these aircraft. It is a reality which should not be allowed to happen to BA's
Concordes." |
