I thought she was leaving the UK shores but it looks like she has been booked for Duxford and Old Warden this year -as long as she stays http://www.goldenappleoperations.org/calendar2013.aspx

What happened to the T33?
I understand it was lost in an accident.
Link to the AAIB report
Are their plans to restore the aircraft?
I believe it was too badly damaged to make repair a viable option

The F86 has been on the ground due to the fact that her J47 engine was in America undergoing some necessary repair work. These things take time and parts for this particular model are difficult to find. However, it has returned and we have refitted the engine and it was succesfully run on Thursday as per the DX Diary thread: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=121487&page=10
The wet start was intended and was part of the initial checks before full engine runs. There will be a report in the next issue of Flypast. It is hoped to re-fly the Sabre in the near future and I am sure one of the resident photographers will capture the event. 🙂

Great news they must have overcome her engine problems then.
Missed her last year except sitting in the flight line all forlornly.
