Just had a phone call from Gollum (Chris) who is one of the aviation gang I travel around with and he reckons VeRA will be rolled out of the hangar very slowly to allow maximum time for photo opportunities and meetings with the flight crew

Rumour has it she may not return to Canada at the end of September but stay till after Christmas to allow the BBMF to carry out work on her (one of the main reasons she is actually here).

I can't find out how many tickets there were but at £10 allowing entry to four people they are a real steal and rumours abound that much larger sums are being offered for those who weren't fortunate enough to get one first time round.

That's great news if true (about her staying until xmas I mean). The longer the better...

Just a rumour atm but even if she does stay I doubt she will be flying, more likely in a hangar/workshop for maintenance.

Hmmm, lucky me don't live far away so I might get a chance to see her up close yet (they have conducted tours, though I'm not sure until when).
