HP42 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) I knew of this aircraft but hadn't realised it was back on the US circuit. Fabulous! In the same way the Vulcan was shot with 4K before it retired, I just wish there was better footage of this almost extinct aircraft. I wonder if it will ever make it 'home' to the UK, and if so could it even fly here? Edited February 1, 2018 by HP42 Kant spel 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think this was featured in the Monster Moves series on Channel 5 a few years back, series 5, episode 4. 'Mammoth Machines'. http://www.windfallfilms.com/show/1757/monster-moves-episode-4-mammoth-machines.aspx Heres a funny thing, one of the chaps who flew over to North America to help them move it, on that TV programme, is somebody I work with and see every day (his name is Jim, and is in the TV programme. He's ex RAF). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'd love to know the current status of this aircraft. The last I heard, there was some plan of bringing it to Europe for a series of show performances in 2017. However, that came to nothing. There hasn't been much action on the aircraft's dedicated Facebook page since last year and the website for the aircraft seems to be no more.
