Just Jane

Post by Typhoon2 » Tue Sep 09, 2014 5:49 pm

Hi all,
Seeing the 3 Lancaster event was held last weekend, is Just Jane returning to flight or are they just keeping her in the condition to taxi? I've seen that she's been in the current condition for a few years now,
thanks,

That's the intention, but cost is likely to be in the order of c.£3.0m.

Perhaps when XH558 finally has to retire they could redirect their efforts?

I'm wondering if they'll have to get the money together up front; surely the income stream from Taxy rides will stop for the duration of the work? and does anybody know if the figure of £3m includes runway work at East Kirkby?
