What ever happened to the Concorde at Singapore airlines?

I was given a SIA shirt the other day with a SIA concorde on the back and it got me thinking about it.

Did they actually own them, or just "try them out" so to speak.

Singapore never actually operated Concorde so to speak. The aircraft involved was a BA machine with BA crews but which had the port side only painted in Singapore airlines colours. It all took place for about 8/9 months around 1979 (as far as I remember from the written details)
It basically was a very early form of code share/alliance between BA and Singapore on the LHR-SIN route but I think environmental factors (the sonic boom over land) was the main reason why the venture ceased.
