At long last.

Just the engines to go, with luck tomorrow.

Believed to be the only intact example of its kind in the world...

Intact? Have they looked at it?

That is an awesome recovery. Wonder how it'll look once they finish the restoration.

This is one of the things that snapped me out of my 'Dammit Microsoft!' depression

The rear fuselage is a bit bent from the lift, but that can be straightened out quite carefully and easily, but otherwise, she seems to be in good condition, you can even clearly see the burn marks on the port wing aft of the engine due to fire.

To tell the truth it does not look like restoration but more like replication.

What ever they do hope they do it well.
