According to their website:
“The North Atlantic crossing will include en-route stops at Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada, Narsarsuaq, Greenland, and Keflavik, Iceland, prior to arriving at the BBMF, RAF Coningsby.”
No mention of Scotland. Sorry.
I have also read it’s stopping at Prestwick? Would make sense.
Far play to the guy who has won the eBay auction, I wish I could afford to have bid that much. But why not also do one for the return trip? Is it staying?

Yep! Par for the course.
I take it you like Spits? 😎
Re the Connie. Lets hope they get the Union flag the right way up this time.
Welcome, I can’t see how they could make the ‘meeting’ into a film though. In the book it covers Franz learning to fly the meeting with Charlie and then his later career and life. I doubt more than 10% of the book covers the event.
Adam Makos with Larry Alexander.
Maybe. Has had a very chequered career. Almost sixteen years old, had about six owners and almost sixteen changes of leases. Is currently on lease to Jet2 or is it? 😉
With the average fleet age of 22 years (according to planespotters.net) it’s young for them, they have 4 more 737’s due to be delivered and they are all around 12 years old.
That’s a mixed bag:) Great!
OneEightBit, it’s a good job Mike is in Argentina in that case:eagerness:
We have Red Kites up here in Yorkshire, I’ve seen four together at Harewood house, a great sight.
Just found a page about it, God bless Google:eagerness:
That first one, is it a Photoshop?
Fair point Robert, but 500 that wasn’t drip fed they would be worth two a penny. Still cost a fortune to restore.
Another historic aviation crime you could commit is to buy airworthy a/c and do nothing with them for years and let them rot.
Here’s another way of looking at it, lets say 500 Spits could be bought for £25 and they all were and they were all preserved. What would the value of one be now?
