I am so happy to announce that XT752 took to the skies once again yesterday July 20th, 2014!
It was her day to shine and she did! She took off during the early morning hours and by mid day drew in a huge crowd to watch as she graced the skies with her bright orange colors and the prrrr of her engine.
Pics to follow!:D

The Gannet went home courtesy of a ride in a AN124 and has been active since, the lost spares became a legal dispute with the court ruling here http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2014/07/01/aviation-news-court-ruling-on-fairey-gannet-xt752/

Goose Bay? What again? I thought that was all resolved several years ago, or is this another saga that it’s facing?!

Hi All, is there any news on ANY progress on her following court ruling to release the parts that were delivered to the UK and then ‘stolen’? Website is down, FB hasnt been updated, i fear this project is dead as its still in Goose Bay isnt it and without the parts she cant fly anywhere.

Well done team. Hopefully her troubles are behind her now. Any chance of some pics or video footage? Video would be nice but I’m happy to settle for seeing some photos of her. I am proof that beauty is in the eye of the beholder as I think the Gannet is beautiful in its own way.
