Hi all,

The husband and wife team were heather and roger brooks, and they used to operate all of the systems on it bar the engines until….Health and Safety….rose its ugly head. Honestly, its pathetic!

Luckily, they moved up north and roger (who is an ex victor crew cheif) is now our crew cheif on XL231.

Given that Concorde etc have gone into Airspace for “Winter Cover” surely the Victor and the Shackleton should be put in?

The Shackletons just as bad, in fact to me in looks worse. They both realy desperatly need getting undercover.

Yess..! Thanks Scott that is long over due! I hope they post pics of the restoration on the internet. I remember when that husband and wife team redid it and they got some of the systems working again.
