It hasn't gone-just moved, our MI5 man is down there today and the FAA in Germany have taken a closer look.
So difficult to see how it could evade Legislation-take for instance one of the thousands of components that have been ignored-the gear. They are on a 10year mag particle inspection program which you have to remove them and send them to an overhaul facility. It is not an inspection that can be done while they are attached to the aircraft-not been done since the good ole days at STN and one that certainly has not been done at BOH-there are dozens more like it And where would they find a 44 landing gear approved shop these days?
I had thought he was simply going to paint it in Conroy logo in honour of the great man and just taxi it but too much dosh has been spent on it surely just for that
