On topic again...

Apart from silly games (Yes, someone on this board has a serious permanent "out-of-body" experience/split personality syndrome problem)...


Is there anyone out there currently trying to save at least the cockpit of Guppy? I know of a devout CL-44 fan who is not a Pprune member who over the last few weeks has tried to get things moving, but so far to no avail. He wouldn't mind if someone else now stepped in...

The CL-44 Association is "out-of-bounds". See below as posted on the 30th of April and the 1st of May this year...
Heard through a friend at European that the Rep at Bournmouth can get authority from Heavylift to give the cockpit to a museum but not CL44 assn ?
and
My opinion is that any attempt by the CL44 Association to save the flightdeck is doomed to fail.
Unfortunately their Chairman was too much involved the past years and his actions have not pleased Heavylift as stated before. Maybe their actions did the whole case more harm then good.
Hopefully there will be a neutral party taking up the task...
Well, is there a neutral party? RAF Millom at

Britannia Aircraft Preservation Trust at

Another organisation?
