Following Rob Belcher's talk on Blackbushe at war last night (16 Feb 2023) Blackbushe Heritage Trust Trustee Pat Marchant gave an update on the Viking project and current hopes as to dates when the aircraft might return to Blackbushe..
This is his appraisal of the evening this morning.."it was a full house at the Pathfinder last night, a big THANK YOU, to Rob for his talk on Blackbushe, I think we need part 2 sooner rather than later 😊 The highlight for me was without doubt the appearance of Henry Theobold, pictured, his memories of the recovery of AGRU and the fabulous photo album he presented to us, just amazing,many thanks to him and to his daughter for convincing him to come along. I think we’ll be seeing more of Henry😉
The main news is we are very close to confirming recovery plans for AGRW, a few more costs to sort but we expect to dismantle and load the aircraft during the last week of April and for it to arrive at BBS during the first week of May. We want to have it partially re-assembled for the Fly-in on 3rd June. Ambitious targets but achievable".
