There was never going to be an attempt to make it airworthy. The cost was always against them. The objective was to make it taxi with all engines running. Not sure where though. No where to take it from where it is housed.

Hi Guys

Glad to hear from you all that my mate got it right. I will have to go see it when I get a chance. I just love those old planes, the bug bit when I first visited Duxford some years back.

Cheers

Tony
