It was donated by Kiki Lamaire who owned Transair in the former Zaire, and was originally the property of Cubana, I believe. My understanding is that it and its Proteus engines are fully timexed - but with the retirement of the Hovercraft, surely there should be sufficient around?
It would be lovely to see the
Whispering Giant take to the air again - I saw it a few times at Lanseria and it was indeed a delight to behold!
If BY pay us lots of money, we could always bring our CL44 up to LTN in BY colours as an alternative!
