Gents,

JRT,

That's NX611 alright, built in April 1945. Some say she won't fly again, others say she could. There is a clip on YouTube which shows her charging down the runway at East Kirkby and I'm certain that only a little back pressure on the stick would have seen her lift off! Seems she has 2000 hours airframe life left but it has been stated that a new mainspar would be required among other things. Not beyond the bounds of possibility when you consider that the huge Avro Vulcan has taken to the air again due to subscriptions and donations from various sources.

Do I hear the rattle of a collection tin?
