Oh strewth, ANOTHER bonkers Concorde!  :o

Your place must be knee deep in the things by now, well done ideed.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Brilliant idea, Gerry Anderson meets George Lucas. And you even butterflied the tail so R2 can sit there between them!

  You must have more Whifsonic Transports than there were SST's.

With 8 Olympus, that ought to be able to do Mach 4.4, which would be just before the Fuel
ran out and the whole thing turned into a ball of glowing molten Aluminium :blink:
Absolutely Bonkers :thumbsup:
Nice!

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

lovely looking, and my wifes commented on seeing it, " only useing the top engines on take off will eliminate FOD "
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
