We Told You So..!!!!

3 Cheers for XH558....I am very happy to say We Told You So..!!!!

So glad that all the doubting Thomas's have been proved wrong and I'm very pleased to see some apolgies from those indivuals. Sadly this type/scale of restoration(with the current green issues etc etc ), is something that will probabaly never be repeated so I hope everyone makes the most of this chance to see a historic cold war jet in the air (around 5-10 years I believe depending on funding/sponsorship..!).

I will be taking my boy (13..) to a couple shows to see 558 roar !!, as the last classic british (not including Spits/Hurrs etc ) he saw was Concordes last landing at Filton a few years ago.

So well done to all the boys and girls at Bruntingthorpe TVOC and Marshalls and to everyone who kept the coffers full over the last few years...lets just hope that Mr Branson/Mr Redbull etc etc will put their hand in their wallet to keep her in the air know she is thier.

(Getting off soap box now...)
