I’m wondering what will happen to this beauty should she not be made airworthy, I am hopeful that someone on this forum will be able to shed some light on what the future holds for XL577, one can only hope that she’s not doomed to permanent outside storage.

I don’t understand why it hasn’t been sold, it was given a full rebuild over several years.

Thanks for confirmation and info BB, I had heard that G-VETA was now at Kemble – nice picture as well!
Do you know the reason that XL577 might not fly again, she looks such a good jet?

Pagen01, you are correct that XL577 is seperate from Delta Jets.

The Delta Jets team of engineers are now Vintage Flyers and look after
WV318

The attached photo was taken at Vintage Flyers last Tuesday

The link and comment is in regard to XL577 specifically, which I thought was seperate from Delta Jets.

Also thought that Delta folded in spring of 2011?
As in the Hunters St Athan thread, WV372 is at HFL, & WV318 is Hunter Flying Academy.
I am willing to be corrected though.
