I read it somewhere that this jet can travel from London to New York within 3 hours and some minutes.

So my biggest question now is, why did they stop manufacturing it and removing it of service?

The risk of flying it was much hence poor safety. All the jet were retired after the last crash

I saw this bird several times as a kid while at heathrow or gatwick. It had priority service as in once it is ready to fly, all regular aircrafts will give it clearance, in our naija lingo, e de jump queue.
Quite a small aircraft too compared to the British caledonia, British airways or Nigeria airways aircraft we use to be in. Infact compared to the 747s, 707s, DC10s etc, it looked like miniature.
Very sleek and futuristic looking back then.

I love the way the British journalist speaks and the fast running accent during the 80s and early 90s.

I don’t really known why they change from that this days

While we were worshiping and serving Amadioha, Sango and other demons, the other parts of the world were advancing in science and technology.
Africans, what has idol worshiping profited you?
Very foolish and backward race of people.
Youths in Africa, especially in Nigeria, are presently busy using juju to do fetish money rituals, destroying the lives of fellow Africans who get caught in their snares and traps.
Africans are running away from their Juju continent to the West - a testament to the fact that worshiping the devil and his demons only destroys the lives and lands of their adherents.
Very unthinking black race.
To even elect sensible political leaders is an uphill task for us.
It’s a pity.
