That is good news. I am always left wondering why there are not more altruistic gestures made by very wealthy people. There seem to be so many of them around these days.

I must admit I thought after all the false dawns for this Beverley it was going to end up as scrap.

Apparently there was a guy who owned a Vampire that he kept there and it cost about ?300 to fill the tank for a very short flight. My knowledge of that dates back at least 30 years so fuel cost in today's money would no doubt be rather larger.
