What really gets me is not 558 but the support and money she brings, when other great british airworthy aircraft are grounded because of lack of interest that require a fraction of the money raised by 558 already.
The main one that sticks in my throught is the Gannet. The RN historic fleet has no less that 3 stringbags flying or under restoration to fly, get no one wants to spend a mere £ 100K to get the last airworthy gannet back from the states.
Now that a mighty, non complex, twin engine, contra prop monster I'd pay to go and see.
Who wants to form a group to bring that back, or comment on my thoughts of my it's not been done already.
Perhaps I should have started another thread, sorry folks
ps. I hope 558 all the best, and was happy to give my £ 50-00 in the hope of:
