On the 6th of December Shackleton MKIII WR982 successfully ran all four Griffons again. Unfortunately this was a private run and the fuel cost came close to £600! She's now wrapped up for winter, we hope to run here again publically in 2009.
Video of the run on the 30th of March here:-

A DVD of all of the runs, including internal views, is being produced and should be available "soon".
Gatwick Aviation Museum would like to say a big thank you all of our visitors and members for the continuing support during the past year. Hope to see people in the new year. The political situtation still blights our efforts to get these airfames under cover, but we will do our best to mitigate the damaging effects of the weather/time.
