Put a Bulldog clip on SO just in case ;o)
I'll keep an eye out for any info this end. Flying in might be my best
option anyway, so long as they are open for inbounds.
Any idea when / where the test flights are?
TIA.

Test flights will be from the base in Leics, no dates yet as it's
completely dependant on the money being raised. They've so far failed
to attract a big commercial sponsor and are relying on donations from
members at the moment. I think they'll probably end up completing the
test flights in this manner and maybe an airshow or two in June, but
after that there's a big question whether it will continue.

Right.
Thanks for the info.
I hope they get her into the sky again. These were wonderful birds, albeit,
bloody noisy! )
