Fleet 80 Canuck

I’ve not visited this forum for several months but have had several e-mails telling me about this thread. 😮

The Fleet G-FLCA is not being scrapped but I can understand how this rumour could easily have started. On a number of occasions I have commented, tongue-in-cheek, that it might as well be scrapped.:confused:

Regards.

I have it on good authourity that it certainly is not the one currently based at Turweston.

Graystoke, having heard that it is going to be scrapped, have you also heard the reason why?

Knowing the amount of effort that has gone into thsi aircraft over the years I would be very surprised if this true.

Where did your info come from Graystoke?

The 1 in the uk. The only 1 in europe I think. g-flca?

Well the registered owner appears to live around the corner from my girlfriend. Perhaps I ought to bang on his door when I go over there later today? 😀
