Heard today that poor
'Nancy' is in bad shape for future flying.....

It seems that Toulouse has changed the wing section / manufacturing process for this model, and to get the aircraft flying, it needs both wings to match...

Therefore....because they cannot get it to Toulouse, and this necessary work cannot be done ' in the field', it seems an 'impasse' has been reached.

It could well be that the only solution available, so I hear, is to scrap the one in 'Singers' for bits, and to supply QF with another one......

True or False..??

Cheers
