A QF lead group that will fly it back to join the museum which is located ? I understand that the project has been going on or a couple of years now and the stumbling block was of course the monies wanted for the aeroplane. It underwent a C check / respray and was outshopped in 1999 as new rumoured to be going back to the Saudi Royal Familly for their museum and as it was the first VIP a/c for Saudi Royal Flight. That said it has been parked with minimum attention since. In November 05 it was surveyed by QF engineering and Museum staff and the result was that it was in good condition and we must assume so from the purchase. Work will commence in March 06 oin it with the engines being removed and serviced.
