It's just been announced on Lincs Fm that 'they' are hopeful that the paperwork will be signed today and the aircraft will leave Waddo tomorrow.
The ‘paperwork’ is hardly likely to be a renewed Permit to Fly and C of A for airshow displays. From what I’ve read here the CAA required materials sampling from XM603. Presumably that hasn’t even been started. In which case the ‘paperwork’, if it ever
is signed this side of Xmas, will be a One-Off permit back to Bruntingthorpe.
Dr Pleming will certainly go down in aviation history. Orville and Wilbur would probably have stuck with bicycles if they could have foreseen 558.
