I will say one thing…………………Aurora!! 😉

Lets be realistic here guys! We do not know the first thing about shooting down an aircraft such as the B2 or B1! We can come up with these funny idea’s and mention all the equipment available, that we know of, to shoot them down, but don’t you think the Armed forces would be a little disturbed if they knew that a group of forum members could conjour up an idea to do it! We would all need to be professional weapons experts to do that and I don’t think that that is very realistic here, do you? :confused:

Well I think Albert is right in what he says as the airframe is actually set to take up residense next to the Concorde at Filton. The person who represents himself and a company from Bristol are supposedly buying the Freighter from Hawkair Aviation in Canada later this year and it is going to be flown over. It is apparently going to be supported by the city of Bristol, two newspapers, a tv company and a fuel company, for the journey back here, but plans to keep it flying are, as usual, tentative providing certain requirements and support needs are met. Air Atlantique, here we come!!

I was told it belonged to Hawkair Aviation services in Canada and it was being purchased by an undisclosed buyer who represents himself and a group based in Bristol. All told, it is to have it’s final resting place next to Concorde at the Bristol Aero Collection at Filton later this year. Their are plans to keep it flying in the UK for an undetermined time, provided that certain requirements and support needs can be reached.

G-BISU was the last Freighter to fly in the UK but was destroyed in a non fatal crash while taking off from Enstone, Oxfordshire in 1996.

Maybe a new airframe to be maintained at Coventry perhaps!! Happy days!!……so long as they don’t move away 🙁
