According to a friend of mine, that is actually doing the engine runs, that is not the plan......
He won't say any more at the moment, apart from that work and negotiations are ongoing behind the scenes, there are no plans to scrap her.
I'll try and pump him for some more information when he gets back out here in the M.E. next week.
