Viglant wind up

As far as I know the airframes on the Vig fleet are not an issue, but an overhaul of a VW engine is of course second only in complexity to changing a crankshaft on a Napier Sabre.
In practice you could OH it on a substantial kitchen table if you had to (the VW that is). I did say the organisation will have to do some out of box thinking if it is to get back on track to providing a facility it should be doing, and has been paid for.
The Sabre would of course need a VERY SUBSTANTIAL table.
