Have I read too much into FiltonFlyers’ post?

Yes you have. I said ‘As far as I know, restoration is on the cards for some point in the future’. What I meant was that the Aero Collection would like to restore the fuselage to a more ‘displayable’ condition, as it is not in great condition at the moment. If it is to go on display in any future museum at Filton, then it would need to have a certain amount of restoration work done to it. By the way, this is not in any way an official statement, just my opinion as a BAC volunteer. I’m not in any position to comment on any discussions with the owner.
