Return to Flight
SCG continues in pursuing its primary goal of returning a Concorde to flight in a heritage capacity. We are currently in the process of building an entire section of the website dedicated to return to flight (RTF) which will outline the logistics of RTF and the many obstacles that currently prevent this from happening. It is hoped that this section, in conjunction with the online forum, will generate productive and positive discussion of ways in which we can all help to make RTF a reality. Furthermore, we want to re-ignite the debate around RTF and work with like-minded individuals and groups who share the wishes of the overwhelming worldwide consensus that Concorde deserves to be seen in the air again.
We firmly believe that the Great British public and the wider world deserve to have the opportunity to see Concorde flying and to this day, their are no technological reasons whatsoever why this ambitious aim cannot be achieved.
There have been, and continue to be, many detractors to this process. Incredible though it may seem, there are people who would prefer Concorde to remain firmly grounded never to be seen in the air again. Why? Well briefly, some of these opinions relate fairly and realistically to the challenges posed by RTF, while others relate to other, more dubious self-serving interests.
Whatever the technical, logistical and political obstacles, SCG pledges that we will never give up fighting for RTF until it no longer becomes technologically possible for Concorde to fly.

Our work is increasing and so is our teamWe are currently looking for dedicated volunteers who can actively help SCG in all areas relating to Concorde.
If you love Concorde and if you want to help us make return to flight (RTF) a reality, we need YOUR help. There is a major project underway which is specifically involved in collating and analysing a huge archive of information relating to the technical details involved in RTF. We are looking for help in sorting, rationalising and updating this information. If you are interested in this or feel you can help in any way (eg. aeronautical engineers, maintenance engineers, logistics, planning, financial advice, or just want to contribute sheer enthusiastic manpower) then please get in touch through the website and tell us how you would like to help.
The management of SCG are NOT aircraft engineers. We seek to organise, facilitate and collaborate with the huge range of expertise and ability within the UK and France relating not only to Concorde but to aviation in general to achieve our primary aim: to return Concorde to the skies in a heritage capacity.
