AFAIK the plan is not to run the engines – they were run the final times in the museum grounds on 16th and 17th December – then the plan was to drain the fuel.

Will one be flying just for airshows?

probably not at the moment

all the current ones are slated for either museums of AMARC

in fact one was already delivered yesterday

seems perfectly historic to me (i.e. old)

I love the look of the Luscombe.

Luscombes are great to fly – get your hands on one and you won’t want to let go 😮
