Its not top secret, I was just tailoring a personal response to Paul.
The airframe will be moved in and out of the Hangar as work is done and other operational aircraft need to be moved about. I have a secure, undercover workshop for smaller assemblies and cockpit items to be worked on (about 25ft by 15ft). I will have an airside pass so can gain access to the airframe whenever required and may escort anyone else through to the aircraft to carry out work. The long term goal is to get her ground running and I have absolutely no intentions of parting with her. There is a good chance that she will spend a time at the Bournemouth Aviation Museum on the airfield perimeter but this is through choice not necessity. She has a permanent home here and her future is secure. There are further plans and thoughts beyond this but they don’t need to be discussed here at this time. Anyone wishing to help will be brought fully up to speed and will always be kept in the loop. I am a one man band so to speak at the moment but all work is being carried out under the supervision of a CAA approved maintenance company so everything will be done properly.
I hope this answers the questions originally posted by Paul.
Oh and to the nay sayers (they will be out there scoffing at their computer screens!), you are entitled to your opinion but your not going to dissuade me! I made the decision to get up and give it a go, I intend to see it through. I know its not going to be easy, the most rewarding things in life seldom are. This is my dream, I fell in love with these aircraft as a 6 year old and never thought that owning one could be a reality. Now that it is I am grabbing onto that opportunity with both hands and running with it.
