Following the problems created by a certain light fingered miscreant last year, there is at last some good news regarding XV582's future. Here is a press release issued by BF4PAG and GJD Services...
"XV582 ‘Black Mike’ Purchase – Press Release – 001/16
For those of you that have been following the progress of The British F4 Phantom Aviation Groups’ campaign to save XV582 ‘Black Mike’ from its uncertain future. You will be aware the road has not been as smooth as most would have liked.
However I would like to announce that our campaign was a success.
With the kind and generous help from Mr Gary Spoors and his company GJD Services. We have been able to secure ‘Black Mike’, enabling us to focus on phase two of the campaign, ‘The Move’.
Mr Spoors was kind enough to purchase the aircraft on behalf of the group as well as paying for the transportation of ‘582 to Bruntingthorpe as initially planned.
There is an agreement in place that will allow BF4PAG to reimburse Mr Spoors for his generosity over a period of time. This will allow us to ensure the safety of the aircraft and give a greater time period in order to raise the required funds.
This is by no means the end and many more months of hard work await us, but at least we are now one more step closer. I would like to take this opportunity to make you all aware that we have a number of structured fund raising projects that will be rolled out in due course.
Finally I would like to express my thanks on behalf of The British F4 Phantom Aviation Group, to Gary Spoors and GJD Services for the generosity and assistance.

Next stop, Bruntingthorpe! :ok:
