XV582

XV582 was still on 43 in late 1984, when I left.
Started my terminal leave 5th Nov '84.
Would love to see 582 saved, preferably in 43 colours!

Does anyone know who the crew were who set the Land's End-John O'Groats record in 1988? Am keen to contact them with regard to how the time was verified and by whom.

Also, any update on Black Mike?

Thanks

RM

No update as yet gents. It would appear that the bid by the BPAG was changed at the last moment to try and acquire the aircraft for another unrelatred group. The aforementioned Matthew Wilkes seems to of changed the gofundme page details at the last second then took the page off line.

Based on what's been written on the facebook page for the BPAG, It looks like he has taken all the money donated for himself to try and fund getting the aircraft moved to another museum. This was without the knowledge or support of any of the other members of the BPAG, and to that end, I believe the matter has been passed is currently under investigation by the police.

I appriciate that there are 2 sides to every story, but he has yet to respond to any of the questions being asked of him.
