Quick someone, bid on it before I run out of self control!! 😀

Nah, it’s got one wing less than you need, I’ll have to bid for you!:D

Hey, try
somers kendal sk-1
or
somers kendall sk-1Martin

Thanks. So it was and is G-AOBG, not much like the Student. Looking at the size of those wings, it is not surprising that they have disappeared.:(

I’m on holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!A225HVY:rolleyes:

Not good enough, hospital with hands in plaster is the only acceptable excuse for not being up to date with the current crisis situation with our lack of reliable information on the fate of the one and only (flying?) 225!:D

Swift road to recovery certainly isn’t what I’ve heard tonight. For Heaven’s sake, it’s the biggest thing ever to fly over our planet, surely someone must be able to confirm what the hell’s happening with it?

Agree, where is A225HVY when you need him?:D

And the people saying they believe she will never fly again are… Where, exactly? I see none in this thread. :confused:

Paul

I think the title says it exactly,’damaged beyond repair’ although as it turns out, incorrectly. Great news on the swift recovery!:)

It’s no wonder our gruff New Yorker friend has such a short fuse having to control all those movements and be an interpreter at the same time

Disagree, New Yorker had an extremely long fuse otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to cope as well as he did. Only ten minutes of that tape made me exhausted, how about an hour of that? Pass me the pills.

When I visited the COA at Cranfield in the 60s it still had its wings and canopy but the tail planes were not fitted and this is verified in two photos in my collection.

Amazing, when did you last Google something and nothing comes up!:D Could anyone provide a photo, preferably complete? It doesn’t look as though it ever aspired to the issue of a registration mark.
