	The Boeing 2707 Supersonic Airliner @ Aviation.y2u.co.uk
		By the middle of 1962 it was becoming clear that the tentative talks earlier that year between the Bristol Aeroplane Company and Sud Aviation on a merger of their SST projects was more serious than originally thought, and it appeared there was a very real chance they would be offering a design shortly.
		The director of the Federal Aviation Administration, Najeeb Halaby, decided that the Concorde was too far ahead in development to bother building a direct competitor, and instead selected a much more advanced standard as their baseline.
		The mockup was disassembled and shipped to Florida, where it sat in a scrapyard for 19 years before it was purchased and partially reassembled for display at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California.
