I think the spares issue is a Herring Rouge.! There are plenty of aircraft out there to rob, plus a warehouseful of bits.
What matters most is the type certificate which has been withdrawn by the manufacturers. This makes it illegal to fly it.
Maybe they could put it on a Permit to Fly. Now there's a thoguht.!!! The PFA should be prepared to accept an application.
Sorry folks...this one is just not going to fly. No pun intended.!
No matter how much you want it, sometimes the problems are insurmountable, much as I, you, and the whole world wants it.
Even BA, ever mindful of a good PR opportunity, bowed out of operating one on the circuit.
