 Dear Mr Ireikin,
I am happy to give support to your endeavors to get a TU 144 flying again
- with only 39 hours it is practically new ! However, aircraft that do not
fly I know quickly go wrong or need work done on them. All the British
Airways aircraft I have been told have had all their fluids drained so
getting them back to a flying state will be very costly and I am sure will
not be done anyway because no one is prepared to be a Design Authority
for the aircraft and that is a mandatory requirement of our Civil Aviation Authority.
Perhaps the French will get a Concorde flying but I doubt it.
Good luck and thank you for your invitation to the future aircraft opening ceremony.
Regards,
Peter Baker
