Unfortunately she wont fly again :(( ,but they have fitted 2 restored/refurbed engines to her :D and they hope to have her doing taxi runs down the runway by the end of the year, if not, then the start of next year. \:D/

So it looks like you will have a bit of a wait for the video Dan4th......... ;)

They have been on with this for a while, It's a great aircraft, and I just hope that they manage to keep it open to the public as much as they can now.

it will be great to see it running.

Well, depending on which day my friend wants to go, it'll either be the 14th 15th or 16th :))
Will keep you posted :D

We're also going to Eden camp one of the other days, it's been years since I've been there and I've never been to Elvington :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
Really looking forward to my "holiday" :D

I'll nip over in the next few eeks and get some more pics, if you go during the week when most of the population are at work and kids at school you can usually get around them better.

I will then also be able to see the picctures as I'm running IE9 and can't see any ~x(

Gives me an excuse to go over anyway, only ten minutes away.

Just had to download chrome to see the pics...... the new paint job looks great.
