Ex Hevilift Belfast

[Steve Bottom]

Just received word from an overseas contact the sale of the Ex Hevilift Belfast to tiger cargo has fallen through, and the Belfast will never fly again...... :(

Have not seen any other info to confirm this, at this time, but all work on the Belfast stopped before Christmas and I have not seen anything being done since then.

Hope that we don't see this aircraft departing Cairns in a skip bin........:mad:

Howcome the aircraft will 'never fly again' all because this particular sale has fallen through?

If it'll never fly again is it because there is little hope of finding another buyer or there is something wrong with the aircraft that it is too expensive to fix or not repairable?
