Do you have any plans to take the weight off their tyres by removing some of their heavy engines? ;) :-o

Will they be properly stored or just left
out in the open?????????

Maybe after a while you might get to
snag some engines, I suppose, but
do you know what's planned for these
two other than just sitting???????

Make sure they get parked right next
to Guppy!

I like to do my planning retroactively!

And of course the owners just might
neglect to pay storage fees at some
point........

Fingers crossed, maybe for next spring!

Actually it was listed in FlyPast in their April Airshow list supplement. Sounds rather good, and as you say, weather will be fine. Looking forward to a few pics then :D
