I do hope something does come of this.

While a ferry flight would be great (I admit, I'd be on the first plane over to see it happen) I don't think that will ever happen.

Yorkshire Air Museum have ruled themselves out, so I am wondering where she could go.

They should move / donate it to the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington or The Cold War Jets Collection at Bruntingthorpe, and keep it in ground running condition if possible.

I'm wondering about the Canberra. WK163 is also parked up at Doncaster-Sheffield. Lots of people state that 0 work has been done on it since VTTS bought it.

They were hoping to return it to flight. Nothing ever came of that and its sitting picking up rust.
