Unfortunately 544 will be unable to running initially, her engines were bolted many moons ago and are now full of corrosion, also most of the ancillaries are missing. But who know what could happen in the future.
897 on the other hand is a different beast. Hangared & Running, the guys hope to be able to fast taxi her next year. She currently sits on jacks with one of the main wheel units removed due to a bearing failure but a replacement bearing is making it way to the aircraft and should be installed very soon.

What is the current CAA attitude towards flying the Bucc. I assume Joe King was talking crap the other day but have heard XX885 stands a good chance.
Is 897 kept inside and does anyone have any idea if they will taxi it sometimes since its all running again these days ?

There should not be any pop-ups present on the site.
I would also be interested to hear about anything that may appear.

Trumper, I have just had a look at the site from a different PC and everthing seems to be working ok.
The only menu that currently has any pop up’s is the Guest Book.
Could other visitors please tell me if they too are experiencing problems with my site?
