HHA Buck XX885

There are no issues with support from BAe or RR, don't know where either of those rumours came from. The main prob with the Bucc is the ejection seats and some outstanding parts which are critical to have in place before any return to flight work is carried out. We are patiently waiting on answers on many issues but rest assured once we have resolved those we will forge ahead. please don't ask for any forecast as I don't have one at present, needless to say we are as keen as anyone to get her back in the air. After hundreds of hours of design verification work and a very hefty CAA bill we do not want to waste the effort and money thus far spent. We carried out ground runs and operated all her systems a couple of weeks ago and she was in good shape.
