The current proceedings will of course change that situation significantly. The taxiable status of ZA150 and ZD241 made them special, but with both venues either sold or under threat I guess we've seen the end of that era. Still, keeping them going for the past seven years was a major undertaking and both the team at Dunsfold and at Bruntingthorpe should be commended for all the work they've put into preserving these airframes for us to enjoy.
