A story I heard recently claimed that someone connected with the current owners were saying they had a UN contract to move military vehicles out of certain African nations, hence the engine runs and general clean-up. I understand there may be a few airport charges to clear first....and then a few regulatory matters.
Anytime Geoff. I was just lucky enough to be sent to the other side of the country for work. I am glad that we are all on here to talk about and preserving historic aircraft.

Back in March, there were reports of engine runs from a local group. Nothing since.

I was sent to Cairns for work and I managed to get a lift over to the Belfast and I managed to take some photos for you all. There is a bit of work being done on her time to time. Latest is that she will be flown to Singapore. However like all things in aviation I will believe it when I see it. Either way it would be great to see this old girl fly again.
