Can someone please change the thread title to read Starliner instead of Constellation?

This video http://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?display=1&mode=play&obj=32329 is a very in-depth account of the engineering work that is going into this aircraft, it must rank as one of the most costly restorations ever carried out. The engine test stand is brilliant and the use of modern technology is interesting. Commentary in German.
Give yourself some time to watch it as its goes on for a while. I had the ‘havnt you got something better to do’ line aimed in my direction.

At least we will see DC-6 G-APSA fly again here in UK and in Eagle Airways colours. Would be great to see the Starliner and DC-6 together some day.

I’m not sure whether this a serious proposal to get it back in the air, or whether Air Atlantique (or whatever they are calling themselves this week) are just flying a kite to see if someone will come up for the funding for the work required.

Time will tell.

It really is amazing the level of work they are doing to bring this a aircraft back to life, the way they seem to have an endless pot of money to draw from in times when other projects are seeing cuts.
Incidentally it’s a STARLINER, or was when they started work.

It really is an amazing and wonderful project.
If BA had the same mentality, we might have seen an airworthy York or Viscount on our airshow circuit, maybe even a Viking or the Ambassador.

ROFL………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
