Sea Prince to fly again ...

Thought folks here may be interested to know the Sea Prince T1 WP321 displayed in the open at Bournemouth Aviation Museum has had her engines started up (after having been cleared of six years worth of birds nests and whatnot).

She could be set to be displayed (in the air!) at the 2007 Culdrose show.

Just shows the tattiest looking aircraft can take to the air again, whilst some of the shiniest looking - never will.

Rats, missed it. Were Malc and Nick around to see it (Museum Co-ords)?

I can only imagine they were. I missed it myself - only found out through my membership newletter (I'm fairly ashamed to say!) and its a while since I visited.

Although me and the boy will be popping down Friday to see what's going on. I suspect by now she's been rolled undercover for the real work to start.

Now that would be a site to see, I remember them at Culdrose in the 70's flying all over the place, thanks for the heads up.
