Classic British Flight Sim

The guppy has been moved round near to European to a more photogenic location. However, this is the area of the airfield a number of aircraft have been layed to rest over the years....

Hi BMI,

thanks for the pictures. I only hope she's been put there pending further negotiations and inspections by the relevant authorities. To have come this far and to face the cull would be nothing short of a crime. :crying:

No way hose!

There are still rumours of her trying to be rescued, so no fate is secured yet. She's only been moved because BASCO's closed.

Well to be honest I would have thought there would have been frequent updates on cl44.org seeing as this is a potentially major milestone for the guppy should it fly again. But alas there's nothing on there. :think:
