Eh?? Was the concord maintenance base in manchester or something?

The Shuttle services were advertised as "turn up by X minutes before
departure and you *will* get a seat". Even if they had to fly an extra
plane for the last passenger. And if a Concorde was the only thing spare
at that moment, a Concorde is what got used.

That's true, but I think Concorde use was planned; there wouldn't
normally be a spare, crewed Concorde hanging around with nothing to
do.
