Guppy at Bournmouth !

The Bournemouth news letter has been modified, the part regarding the CL-44 is removed ???? Curious ?
I have also read somewhere of the CL-44 Asc offer mentioned above ? Keith.

Well not unless I was dreaming it was on there.

I read now on another forum that Heaylift have asked the CL44 association to find it a new home.

Having clicked the link above I cant find any reference to BAM preserving the CL-44????

This aircraft & the Belfast at SEN are almost certainly never going to fly again & if something can’t be arranged VERY soon they will be scrapped:eek:.
If anyone on this forum has a serious interest in saving one or both, they should contact the CL44 Association as soon as possible, I understand that they are in a position to broker a deal.
Duxford is not an option, as neither aircraft is powered by Merlin’s!
This country could have the last chance to preserve a CL44, there are only 3 left.

PM me if you like, but I am not directly involved.

So the CL44 is not going to BAM then ?

Wow, yes it seems to have been a bit of a long haul, but I do hope that we can all savour this view for a few more years ! Just look at the nose and think Britannia ! maybe no engines or props, but hey ! Keith.

This is indeed good news. I wish the museum the very best of luck with the remaining negotiations & the move.
As for the Guppy, you couldn’t have made up the recent events surrounding this aircraft. Is it really going to be the first CL44 to be saved?! I hope so.

fantastic news that this unique aircraft doesn’t have to die a pointless death 😀
