Two custom vehicles, one room: INK's Concorde and its F1 car

Wave one's note on INK's Mile High page quotes the venue's own 2017 wording about its table-delivery prop: We are the only venue in the UK to provide this service and our concorde is exclusive to INK. That claim is specific to the Concorde and the mile-high bottle service it carries to a table.

A separate archived page, the 2019 packages page a companion note in this wave reads in full, names a second prop entirely: a custom built, ultra violet F1 car, racing through the club to deliver the F-ONE package's five bottles. This note sets the two props side by side, as the archive itself prints them, without resolving what either claim means once a second vehicle is in the room.

What the 2017 page claimed for the Concorde alone

The 2017 Mile High page's exclusivity line is narrow in its own wording: it names the UK as the comparison, the mile-high service as the thing being compared, and the Concorde specifically as the exclusive item. It does not say INK is the only venue with any kind of table-delivery prop, only that this particular service, under this particular description, belongs to INK alone within the UK.

Minimum of 6 bottles is the page's own bottle count for this package, flown to your table via our custom made INK Concorde, in the page's own phrasing. No price appears on that 2017 page, a gap the companion note on F-ONE already flags from the other direction. The page's own emphasis sits entirely on the experience of the delivery, not on what it would cost a group to book.

The 2017 page also does not describe the Concorde's own construction beyond calling it custom made, leaving open whether it was built in-house, commissioned from an outside workshop, or adapted from an existing model prop, a detail neither this page nor any other source in this wave's reading supplies. Nor does it name a manufacturer or a cost for building either the Concorde or, as later pages would show, the matching F1 car that eventually joined it in the same room.

What the 2019 page adds, without touching the 2017 claim

The 2019 packages page does not revise or contradict the Concorde's exclusivity line; it simply does not repeat it, in a different section of the same page describing a different package. The F1 car's own copy describes racing and twisting and turning through the club, delivered by a waitress team, the same guided-delivery structure as the Concorde's own flown-to-your-table phrasing.

Whether the F1 car is older or newer than the Concorde, the archive does not say. The 2017 page, the earlier of the two, mentions only the Concorde. The 2019 page is the first and only one in this wave's reading to mention the F1 car at all.

Two years separate the two captures this note draws on, 2017 and 2019, which is enough time for a venue to commission a second prop without either page needing to reference the gap directly; this note treats that two-year span as the outer limit of when the F1 car might have been introduced, not as a precise date.

Two vehicles sharing one room's table-service idea

Both props exist to do the same basic job: carry a multi-bottle order to a table in a way a plain tray would not. The Concorde does it as a plane; the F1 car does it as a race car. The 2019 page's own wording, a touch of theatre and a touch of the Formula One glamour, applies near-identical language to both deliveries, suggesting a shared house style for naming these packages rather than two unrelated ideas, built around transport themes rather than, say, animals or seasons.

Reading the two pages together is the only way this becomes visible. Neither page cross-references the other prop anywhere in its own text, and a visitor reading only the 2017 page would have no reason to expect a second vehicle existed at all.

A waitress team guides the F1 car in the 2019 page's wording; the 2017 page gives no equivalent staffing detail for the Concorde's own delivery, describing only that it is flown to the table without naming who carries it there.

What "only venue in the UK" would need to mean here

For the Concorde's own exclusivity line to hold alongside the F1 car's existence, "only venue" has to be read narrowly, about the specific mile-high aircraft-delivery service, not about custom vehicle-based table service as a category. The 2017 page's own wording supports that narrow reading; it names the mile-high service, not a general claim about props.

This note does not have a source stating the F1 car was unique to INK the way the Concorde claim states for itself. The F-ONE package's own copy makes no exclusivity claim at all, narrow or broad, leaving that comparison open rather than settled by either archived page. Whether that silence reflects a deliberate choice or simply a different copywriter working on a different page two years later is not something either archived source answers.

A reader relying only on the 2017 page's own wording, without ever seeing the 2019 packages page, would have no reason to doubt the Concorde's exclusivity claim; it is only the later page, read on its own terms in the companion note on F-ONE, that complicates the picture at all.

What a reader of both pages is left with

Two custom props, two named packages, one claim of UK exclusivity that applies to only one of them by its own wording. The 2019 page's silence about the Concorde's own claim is not a contradiction; it simply never raises the subject in the section describing F-ONE. A reader who wants the fullest picture has to hold both pages in mind at once, since neither one alone describes the full pair of vehicles the archive shows existed at the same venue. A later note picks up this same pair of packages from a different angle, matching each one to a weekend stay rather than a single night.

A separate note in this wave, on a package one page called retired, covers a cleaner disagreement between these same two pages' eras — that one is a real contradiction about F-ONE's own status, not a gap in what each page chooses to mention.

Put together with wave one's own note on choosing a table setup, a Lancashire group now has three named table options on record from INK's own archive: a standard table, Mile High's Concorde, and F-ONE's own racing car, each with its own bottle count and its own delivery theatre.

Questions

Does the 2017 Concorde claim cover the F1 car too?

Not by its own wording. The claim names the mile-high service and the Concorde specifically, not a general claim about custom delivery vehicles.

Which page names the F1 car?

Only the 2019 packages page, in the section describing the F-ONE package. The earlier 2017 page does not mention it.

Does either page claim the F1 car is exclusive to INK?

No. The F-ONE package's own copy makes no exclusivity claim, unlike the Concorde's explicit "only venue in the UK" line.
