The aircraft remains at Yeovilton in the care and ownership of Navy Wings ( The Charity that has taken over the RN Historic flight)
The damaged part of teh aircraft has been striped down and assessed, it is repairable but will take time and money. All the damaged systems and equipment have been sourced and have replacements at hand, this ranges from new hydraulic gearbox to canopy. The aircraft is maintained at a basic servicing level ensuring all systems are run and functioned at regular intervals. The main work required is teh replacement of stringers and skin repairs along the two booms. There is no intention to dispose of her nor cease the servicing, hopefully a white knight with cheque book will appear!
