In order to secure the future of the Q6, it was necessary to move it from Seething airfield in Norfolk. Our chosen destination was Coventry Airport, where the Aeroplane was delivered into the care of Ben Cox' Heritage Aviation Services. The move was co-ordinated by Dave 'Mr Shifter' Thomas of Bruntingthorpe's Classic British Jets Collection, with great support from John Brindley Transport.

Much thanks to Rex Ford, whose Q6 expertise ensured the Aeroplane remained undamaged throughout the less-than-straightforward lifting process.

Special thanks to Dave Thomas whose efforts made the move possible, a move foisted on us at short notice by a set of unpleasant external factors. The Aeroplane is now safe and secure and, after a breathing space to review our options (and gather funds!) the path to airworthiness will be resumed. Additional thanks to Lewis Hurley, who has assumed the role of custodian for the Q6, husbanding her and her co-located components, his efforts reflected in her current smart appearance.
