Hey Peter.

As we Stand the Vixen needs a lot of work to get her to a running standard’s. on top of maintaining the airframe, because the Vixen is constantly outside we need to keep on top of rot and corrosion, also we need to be sure on the state of the fuel lines and hydraulic lines, electrics need to be re-wired as well , the vixen really needs cover and practically total rebuild but we can not go to that extent. No engine runs are planned for along time due to the things mentioned above top of that we need experience . i am still at school so have not sufficient skills , but luckily two new people have arrived on the vixen team to help :).the aim is to get the vixen taxi able but its along way off.

Many thanks
Steven Perriss
