What a fantastic outcome to a project that was about to wither and die! :yipeee:
I don't care what colour's she is painted. They could paint it Braniff Orange for what its worth. Point is she's is hopefully gonna be airborne again soon.
Ok maybe not orange. :think:

I can't tell you all how happy I am to hear this, if theres one plane that I have ever wanted to see fly in real life, this is it.
Fantastic news.
