Just look at how much money they poured into resurrecting Belfast G-BEPS from a shell at Southend The CAA kept telling them that it would never move again and they got as far as hanging four engines and three propellers on the old girl (and even giving her a wash) just for the whole project to fall on its ar+e and the scrapman quickly followed.
Anyone who thinks the Guppy is going to fly again simply does not understand the problem (in my humble opinion).
