Hi Airbedane,
Thanks for answering the point, even with a negative.
As ever, safe operation first, even if the anneversary is missed. You will be wheeling the Comet out on some airshow days and pointing at it as a pinnicle of aviation achievement even if it don't get to fly in 2004?
Can I have a hypothetical question then? Would the Collection consider sending the Comet to Lleystad (in 2005 or after) in return for a (flying!) visit to Old Warden by the DC-2?
In the UK is is easy to underestimate the importance in Holland of the success of Uiver, the fame of the crew and thus the importance of the race.
Can we have an air-race commemoration in 2005 (or 2014??
)
Cheers
James
