Some people were opposed to the Concorde ………. .

When the British - government announced the
Introduction of Concorde nights, there was a great
deal of opposition from environmental groups, who
even tried to block several major roads In the vicinity
of the airport. But the government soon dismissed the
opposition, claiming that some conventional aircraft
were far noisier by comparison and that much of the
opposition to the Concorde was baseless. Supporters
of the Concorde also pointed out that there had been
similar opposition when Jet aircraft were first
introduced, and that despite Home negative reports
there were other reports to the contrary.
