heard the aircraft, which was being used by apprentices at the Royal Navy training school in Yeovilton in the UK, was being sold by the British Ministry of Defence.
As it's an ex-training aid for Navy apprentices, I doubt it is being bought to fly. Further reading of the article suggests to me that it is going to be on static display in a museum in Ash-vegas, pampered and doted on by a group of enthusiast's.
Good on them, but do have to wonder about it's link to NZ aviation and wether it desrves to be shown in a NZ museum. The Canberra on the other hand would be a worthy example of a NZ operated military machine with combat honours.
