BBC Commentator says in clip:
Terry jones has spent the last 3 years restoring this engine, so this is a big moment…
I've got to confess that whenever I see a jet engine bolted to a trolley, under the control of a well-meaning enthusiast, my first thoughts turn to the possibility of a "big moment"

But seriously, all credit due to Mr Jones. What next for the Welland? Is it destined to remain on terra-firma for the rest of its days?
