Non destructive use and a conservation plan in place for it – I’d have like to see it go to a museum, but they can only go where previous owners allow it.

Tried to edit this in, but once typed in, could not find how to re-post. Probably very simple!

The pic is from 2015

Incredibly rare and desirable, but I wonder if it will find a buyer in the UK at that price?!

I’d imagine having the sale tied to a restoration contract will limit interest even further.

I have to respectfully disagree – i hope they preserve and repair/restore her, but leave her in impressed markings (albeit those were applied in the 60s if I recall correctly). It’s an area of aviation heritage that doesn’t really get much attention by the museum sector.

Trip up the M90/A92 in planning!

452 pages is going to take some time to digest.

Direct cause – too low and too slow.

Note this quote on P2:

The sole objective of the investigation of an accident or incident under these Regulations
is the prevention of future accidents and incidents. It is not the purpose of such
an investigation to apportion blame or liability.
Accordingly, it is inappropriate that AAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame
or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been
undertaken for that purpose.

which goes in some way to explain why there has been a parallel Police investigation into liability

On permanent display at the National Museum of Flight is the Messerschmitt Me 163B1-a Komet which Captain Brown flew on 10 June 1945, the only Allied pilot ever to fly the Komet under power.

Interesting, I didn’t know that had been identified (Presumably via Capt Brown’s logbook)

Probably an attempt to replicate the movie ‘Madagascar’

Pretty sure (but will check later) that it was Martlet I, which had the fixed wing.
