Old 2 New 0


Carrying on from the blandness of modern design relating to telephones post, I fulfilled one of my childhood dreams this year by getting on board a Concorde. In my dreams I would have been flying the thing myself of course but walking through the plane at the National Museum of Flight in Scotland is the best I can get now. I still can't believe this thing was designed in the 60's. It doesn't look remotely retro, its pure Jetsons. I wonder if it will ever look dated. In comparison look at what Boeing have come up with for their new jet. Wow, that looks like every other passenger jet from the past 30 years. It does have a sweet name though....the Dreamliner.
