Re: Canberra WT327 to the U.K.
Not only have Temora converted the TT.18 to electric start, they also got some shiny new engines for it.
As for the RAE jets hopefully they haven't suffered too much, sat out in all the joys of Californian weather.

Re: BA retires entire Boeing 747 fleet
As nobody has come forward yet with confirmation it is saved, And yes I saw the news yesterday morning.
Perhaps sit tight and wait to see who has applied to buy it. No idea who allocated which airframes to locations but maybe that is why?

Re: Cleethorpes Beaufighter Wreckage
Which is interesting, as I assume its the same one that got a mention in the letters page of Flypast back in the late 80s.
I think they blew it up in the late 60s. It then got buried in the sands again over time.
