There are plans to get NX611 (Just Jane) at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre airbourne in the next couple of years....

There's always hope

That has always been the Panton brothers ultimate goal. However, there are major obstacles to consider, such as funding (as the Vulcan has found), and talking BAE around - a major reason why Air Atlantique's Shackleton remained in the States.

Be nice if they can. :)
