I worked on this plane as far back as 1967 & visited 002 during its build, a great achievement for its day but never an economic possibility, its passenger carrying capabilities was near a joke . Beaten by its noise it could not fly super sonic over land even in this country thus blunting its aim. Like me its a thing of the past & best forgotten, looks great, but a bit of a dud as time proved.
