Fred:
Hey John,

I don’t know if Benoit “the pope” saw your reply, but yes, she flew again! :)

And he has now moved to 2.4giggles hertz to avoid another mishap!

She is flying beautifully, a great, and rare sight in the air.  :-* :-*

Jonzjob:
Thank you Fred, that's really good to hear!  I would love to see some video of it if there is any?

They were beautiful, graceful aircraft. Their hydraulic oil for the systems was a vegetable oil. The Britannias were a synthetic oil. One day a rigger (airframe bloke) went out to one of our aircraft and topped it up with OX38  oil because the level was down. OX38 and wrote the aircraft off! It's a synthetic oil for the Brit and it would have meant changing every hydraulic oil seal on the aircraft!
