'As Association members know, the Guppy continues to await several spare parts that have proved to be extremely elusive to procure. Recent engine runs serve to ensure that the Tyne engines remain serviceable.
Once parts ARE received, it is expected that the aircraft will return to full serviceability soon and its future will be posted in the Association Newsletter. In the meantime, the Association can announce that it is in discussion with a former CL-44 operator to recover spare Tyne engines and parts with which to augment the Guppy's 'cupboard'.
Again, details are in the Association Newsletter-anyone wishing to join should contact
