I was visiting Bournemouth today just to see the CL44 Guppy having read what was being said about it maybe turning into Pots & Pans.
I have it on good authority from someone involved in the CL44 that today was probably its last EVER engine run before scrapping.
They were testing out the engines before they are removed & the aircraft gets scrapped starting any day!!
It is such a shame as it looks in good condition for its age & at least 2 of the engines work as they ran them today.
It was a great sound to hear for the very last time.
R.I.P Conroy CL44 Guppy!
Go see it while you can!
