Vimy Update July 2003
The NEW Propellers
(and hopefully engines)

Intrepid chief engineer, John LaNoue, has successfully
installed (although not yet operational) a new MT propeller and Orenda
engine. While progress is being made, the recent notice by Orenda that
they are retiring from the aircraft engine business has caused considerable
angst and frustration with the Vimy crew. Orenda, and its parent company
Magellan Aerospace, are cooperating thus far in completing their obligations
to the project and hopefully with their continued help, we will have the
Vimy back in the air in the relatively near future.
Stay tuned.....
