France and Britain have declared their joint determination to get the Concorde airliner back into the air, one day after the two countries withdrew the supersonic plane's licence to fly. Officials met in London to work out the way forward for the aircraft, which was grounded after an inquiry into last month's crash found the airliner was unsafe. A British spokesman said after the meeting that the two governments would spell out their plans tomorrow.
