Safir VT-CTS first registed in 1948 c/n 91.133 Ex SE-AWA can`t find out much more than this.

SE-AWA was a 91A and registered on 3/16/48. It was one of the 48 models constructed in the 91A series and was powered by a Gipsy Major. Its subsequent history is still somewhat of a mystery.

That was ‘restoration’, this is a ‘REBUILD’…slightly different!

Understood, but have you seen that neat cursor, can’t get over it!:D

Web site says she flew after restoration on May 2nd, 1996, so she is being restored again?:confused: Anyway, check out their website and the NEAT cursor!

And the next one will be Lee on the Solent unless a miracle happens!:mad:

Now then, if a B2 can hack its way from Aldegrove to the USA without A2A refuelling Im pretty sure a PR9 with more fuel tanks can pull it off. As for Cranberrys and A2A refuelling, non of them could do it.

The B2 can refuel both ends of its trip which is 4000 miles. Pageno1 is suggesting a round trip of 7000 miles assuming overfly permissions granted! (And that would be AldeRgrove?:D )

What I can’t understand is why the MoD didn’t go the safer diplomatic route of operating these Canberras from Belize?

BTW Bex, PR.9s and indeed most Canberras didn’t have inflight refuelling capability

What:D Have you looked at the map? It is over 4,000 miles from Belize to the Falklands, as the crow flies even if you could get overfly permissions from other countries, but thanks for the extra info. though.:)

Now postponed until 14th December.

So they’re not all heartless. One more month to clear off!

Seems they don’t want to pay for the ATC that the MoD used to provide. They’ve only had the airfield for 20 months and only realised this a month ago.

Hmmm?

This problem is like an iceberg, the writing is on the wall, lower the flags and open the bungs, sorry.:(
