you know, i would have thought lift by a heli would be an almost perfect idea, but i remember, this was already discussed with respect to moving 724, and something about the vortices or something created by the wings damaged the engines in the chinook lifting it lol

This is all part of a plan that is being acted on at the moment, indeed, things should be a little clearer as to her future in the next few weeks or so.

thats got to be some of the best news ive heard for a while, even if it is tantalisingly vague 😀 i hope we find out soon…

Don’t know who the owners are – that’s why I added the post, to ask if there was any news. I’m not “writing her off” – just asking if anyone knows what’s going on.

As for my comment regarding towing the aircraft out, I don’t see why you would scoff at the notion – plenty of aircraft have been moved around this way, and it’s entirely feasible if the roads are wide enough (which I’m sure they are – even Lincolnshire’s roads are wider than a Lightning!). It’s certainly a better option than dismantling the aircraft. I suppose the problem would be getting permission to do it – and as has been mentioned, working-out where to take it!:)

i suppose the reality is, would an aircraft thats been grouneded for whats got to be not far off 20 years, be up to a 20 mile tow, even if the police allowed it, which realistically they wouldnt, didnt one of the sea vixens left have a great load of it chopped off so the police would allow a transit?

(mods if the photo isnt ok tell me and ill remove it)

how on earth could you think of getting away with those sun glasses

i was actually referring to the absolutely awful colour match!!! such a terrible eyesore, i mean really now, i almost cried but it had to be done!!! :diablo:

and i suppose the coming belgium museum move counts?

the fire at neam was it? that destroyed their vickers Valetta, very sad 🙁

ahh cool, another gorgous aircraft that tfc are rebuilding 🙂

Just be thankful that it was only a pair of Bristols and not De Havilland Canada’s finest bush plane… :diablo:
