Well,
Firstly sorry this is so picture heavy.

Having just returned from my winter break in the tropical paridise that we all know as MPA I can report that the latest rumour is that the Jet (Hope) will be scrapped this year (Although OC 1435 Flt was trying to get it a repreive) with the Tail and Nose sections going to the museam in Stanley, I beleive the plan is to put a coffee shop where she currently stands. The reasoning behind scrapping rather than moving is that the structure is in such poor condition that it would probably fall apart if a move was attempted!!! (This is rumour control and not an official line)



Although no need for hyd fluid as she's still leaking and therefore not empty yet!!!!



GTS solinoid will need a wallop and the plug a quick clean then she should do a trip!!!


But she does still look good at a distance





So, I'll sign the AF/BF but good luck with getting the leg locks off!!!!
