Branson unveils supersonic jet faster than Concorde...

It carries 40 passengers, does 1,450 miles an hour and will get from London to New York in 3.5 hours (for $5,000).

I always regretted not doing a trip on Concorde, so I quite fancy a trip on this.

Think you got the wrong picture of the 40 seater - the one above is Baby Boom, so here you go.

Concorde sets a new record with the fastest ever transatlantic crossing by a commercial aircraft.
Captain Les Scott, Senior First Officer Tim Orchard and Senior Engineering Officer Rick Eades made history on the 7th February 1996, when they flew Concorde G-BOAD from New York to London in a record-breaking 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds; the fastest ever transatlantic crossing by a commercial aircraft.

Although a couple of years older than me, Les Scott was a contemporary of mine at The Royal Commercial Travelers Schools.

Talking of airplanes I have got an app, Flightradar24, and it's fascinating to see all the planes in the sky at any given time, the 3D part is also worth a look.
