I seriously hope that the aircraft is still around, and has been returned to its former glory.

This was an amazing achievement but was quite a while back. The incident which subsequently befell this aircraft occurred six years ago and was covered in posts on this Forum in 2011.

…although the last I heard of it, it had suffered a forced landing and was badly damaged.

It did not want to land ! I guess after 20 years the aeroplane thought she wanted to say aloft
