CL44 Guppy

There is a persistant rumor the Guppy will be scrapped at BOH soon..
Do not forget that all people working on the Guppy are 'under a info-ban' issued by the new owner.
If you see the enormous work undertaken in the last months, this is the replacement of all skin under the engine and gear cowlings and the purchase of no less then 8 spare Tyne 515 engines and refitting some of those...
It would be a real waste of money and time for the new owner.
Or all must have been a set-up to acquire the Guppy for nothing form its former owner - ALG - and now let it be scrapped as an result of CAA policy.
We'll see..I will be over in mid March if she's still around.
Please let all rumors and FACTS out on this page.
