Sorry about the drift from the Bev, but I felt the news does have a relevance
There does seem to be a little bit of parallel lines between the Bev and our Shackleton.
We'd have loved to fly her out, and I'd love to say she'd make it. Even now, she'll make take off power. But to stay up there for an extended flight? Well, the money spent making sure she would do it- safely - would eclipse the cost for a road move, so we had to conclude that was the more sensible option.
After running her up earlier, my heart's still telling me I ought to reconsider. But a clear head and the chequebook rule.
Sorry chaps...
