Jessie The Jeep Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 From the Sally B website........... "24th June 2009 On Sunday 21 June, we had the result of the latest engine problem on Sally B and it was what we had all feared but desperately hoped could not possibly happen - the failue of the crankshaft bearing on the no 1 egine, meaning that the newly overhauled engine has also failed. How this happened no one can explain. We are at this moment in total disbelief, totally perplexed and utterly devastated. Where do we go from here? At this moment we are scouring the world's warbird fraternity in the search of a reliable replacement engine, but in the meantime Biggin Hill, Flying Legends and Waddington are cancelled. A full investigation into all aspects of the recent engine failures is being done and no stone will be left unturned. I do so hope that we will be up and running by the middle/end of July, but only time and finding another engine will make this possible. Believe me no one is more devastated about this than I am. Our Sally B will be flying again as soon as humanly possible." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
