Yeah, I know one of the guys who helped rebuild it, in fact! Never
thought they'd actually get it going, though. What an effort.


Indeed. Hope I get to see it fly someday.


I thought I heard something about it falling on had times after that first
flight. True or just a rumour? It'll take millions to keep that thing
going. I often wonder how just a few thousand at an airshow, paying a
tenner to get in, supports a string of thirsty Merlins and Pratts. You'd
need a very big audience to keep that thing going.
