It's not quite clear if this will be a static 'gate guard' or will be a flyer here in the UK. Anyone know? An expensive exercise, just to hide it away at Membury as some sort of 'gate guard'.:confused:

Adrian it's made clear on their website that they intend to operate it, see relevant section where they state:

"The long term plan is to operate the aircraft from its original WWII base (Membury) as a flying memorial to all those who gave their lives in the name of our freedom."
