Chris Roberts reports on progress…
The project is alive and well. However, over the
past 18 months the programme has suffered as might be expected given
the restrictions on movement and mixing. We have also had difficulties
at Brooklands because they are unable to continue supporting the
project in the way it was agreed at the outset. It was nearly a perfect
storm because it looked as though our future access to Dunsfold was
also going to be curtailed but the housing development has been put on
hold so we are still there.
There is some good news because we have been able to buy a large
piece of replacement fuselage (for a very modest cost) and this will
save us a year or more in restoration time. This will help to put the
programme back on track and now that things have opened up we will be
able to re-engage with Kingston council. Expect a more detailed brief
on the project status in the next Newsletter.
