XM605 is on loan from the British Government to the USAF, who have, in turn, loaned it to the Castle Museum.

So, she could be brought back to the UK, or taken to Canada. However, I suspect that the costs would be horrendous for a) transporting and b) restoring her. Twenty-seven years sitting without any maintenance must have taken its toll on her. We only have to look at the problems that XH558 has gone through, and she was well maintained.

Shame really, would be nice to see another one fly.
