It’s ten years to the day since NX611’s starboard inner engine spluttered back into croaky life, sounding like a box of annoyed frogs, and delighting us all!
Happy Anniversary, old girl!

Hear hear, JDK; a few more grounded but ‘live’ airframes that are kept/displayed in this manner would be no bad thing.

Yes, what an important anniversary.
Big credit to the team and the Pantons.
And let’s not overlook that this shows that there IS another route between “Nail ’em to the ground” and “Fly ’em”. Long live diversity!
Cheers

Seconded! 🙂
