Exactly Neil

Like all really great thing you did it for all the right reasons....not the glory

The result is always so much better.

A labour of love..a job well done

And the will to keep it that way.

The only other good Trident 3 in the UK is hidden away.

If you people had not done this it would not have happened..simple.

BA would have scrapped it.

As it was it was far from easy and took a lot of time effort and no doubt frustration.

That makes it all the more precious.

Maybe you won't get all the recognition you guys deserve.......but to those that know and to them to which it really matters you are heroes.

Well done Neil and the rest of your rather small team :thumbsup:

Nice work. Although I've yet to make it to your side of 'the pond', it's nice to know when I do that there will still still be some nicely preserved pieces of Britain's rich aviation heritage. There's nothing more sad (or infuriating) than watching a historical ship/plane being dismantled.

Excellent news Neil, all the hard work put in to preserve this wonderful aircraft will mean that another piece of British Aviation History is preserved for the enjoyment of many, for years to come.

Well done to all.
