It's a double whammy really as not only was the Britannia an important part of aviation history but British Eagle was a major user of Liverpool.

This was strengthened by their acquisition of Starways.

A British Eagle Britannia would be very nice :smile:

Excellent news!

Always loved the lines of the Britannia, looks very purposeful and immensely powerful.

Heres to the hope that we'll see her in one piece and beautifully painted once again!

Would be nice to see her in Bent beak and feathers :) Somewhere Harold must be smiling

Great news. Not too far for me and certainly worth the trip to scouse land. Thanks for the news Garry. :smile:

Really dumb question - was she owned by BKS prior to Bentbeak and feathers operating her - the reason I asked was the rather strange glarepanel
