how bizarre Danf - i was only wondering what the latest was the other day!

they certainly have made serious progress! what amazes me is, after all flaps etc have been stripped off, there's bugger all wing left is there? :-o

it's an incredibly short timescale for restoration too i thought; 2010/2011 when she flies over to the Krauts? :ymapplause:

Well, I was pointing out the latest news item regarding
the Lufthansa Connie, but yes, that is a great rainy day
website to troll through for bits and pieces.

The Deutchlanders really are doing it the right way, and
that Starliner will be flying for decades once she's done --
AND capable of having Paying PAX!!!!!

Whenever you see "Round_engine" on here, that's Ralph
checking-up on us.
