In November we managed to fit the four engines. What a brilliant job the team did. So good to see the aircraft looking complete again.
Thanks GJD Services.
We open on 4th Feb. If you are down these parts please do call in and see us. The centre is really progressing nicely and young and old will enjoy a visit here. We also have a great cafe so come and enjoy a Proper Cornish pasty

Great to hear. She'll look excellent now she is "complete".
Great support again from GJD, continuing their excellent work supporting our aviation heritage.

Great to see the survivors of this beautiful type being well looked after in their retirement. Congratulations! If I'm down that way I'll certainly be visiting!

I understood that the MOD wanted something around 8k per engine (or something like that).
Classic Air Force returned the engines to the MOD rather than extra pay for them.

Visited with the family last summer and had the guided tour. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone who’s in the area.
