Can’t see an American jet ending up at Coventry, but hope Kennet take a shine to it!

The crack team of professionals that make up Duxford ATC very helpfully made a PA announcement that AR213 was departing to Biggin Hill. Of course, Tower staff everywhere are usually the last to be told anything important, and have to rely on rumour and speculation. ( Yes, I am ex ATC myself)

Thank you, David!-so, has it been sold already?

Thanks for the update! very best of luck, and any chance of some pics?- please??

The only difference I’m aware of is the arrester hook and that the Nimrod is painted to prevent the salt water at sea corroding it. The Fury is due to fly (literally!) any day now!! -Around mid April it was being prepared to be taken to a “secret location” for assembly and flight test which was due at the beginning of May

According to a recent article in ‘Aircraft’ magazine, restoration was put on hold last year after RR’s other Spit (PS853) was grounded with a spar problem, and it has been transferred to Derby for storage

🙂 Lets hope he got down quick enough before any damage was done.

Too quick, I think!-it bounced about 5 feet!

Wonder how Lufthansa are getting on with their’s!
