just jane

would love to the see the privately owned lanc just Jane fly out of east Kirby BUT from what i know some of the superb restoration has not been technically documented which means when the CAA is asked to give her a C of A the owners maybe struggling to provide the paperwork for the work done to get her flying unless exemptions are allowed ?

Amazing how we are here talking about getting a lanc flying again, yet the Vulcan, a few years her junior, will be stopped from flying permanently in the not to distant future. Shame

Ultimately, those with time and money, decide what it gets spent on.
