wouldnt surprise me if the CAA just dont want them to fly. The CAA have always been a bunch of cunts when it comes to decent/fun things.

Plus im sure the eco freaks will whinge.

And the health, safety and noise lot. These days if you have permission to do something historically then great you might be able to keep it. Now that concorde has been out the air for a while i bet there would be tons of objections from silly old farts and NIMBY cunts who dont want a concorde flying past daily. And sadly they will probably win, just like they are winning more and more with motorsport and trackdays.
