Stacked with enough fuel and an elastic launch band to lift off from it's
standing position without a runway? That would be cool.

mind you, Concorde is cool. Blair can be in Washington in 4 hours, but it
takes Bush 6 to get here, just shows how much better the UK is. One (Two)
of them should be kept as a UK "Air Force One", the cost is minimal, the
prestige is high, and of course the leader (no matter how incompetent) of
our country deserves something decent to travel on, save Prescott be in
charge for a few hours.

I doubt the cost is minimal otherwise I'm sure BA would themselves be
keeping one or two planes for charters, other prestige stuff - and
political favours.
