I see from the press release that XH558 is due back at Bruntingthorpe at lunctime tomorrow and then the papers go to the CAA. So, no matter how you look at it, they did it, and despite all the sagas, the disappointments, shady activities, arguments, whining and bitching, the project has been completed and I have to say - hats off to 'em!
Of course, there's no certainty what will happen from this point onwards but I certainly wish the team the very best of luck. They've achieved what many believed to be impossible. Just hope it doesn't prove to have all been for nothing - you'd think a sponsor would have come forward by now, wouldn't you? Oh well, a classic tale of determination against typical British indifference I guess.
