'Sisyphus' is under restoration after being rescued by Speke Aerodrome Heritage Group, with generous donations from aircraft enthusiasts (£2,500). The aircraft was stood rotting in Blackpool for 5 years following the demise of Emerald Airways, and was on the brink of scrapping until it was rescued in 2010. This is an important aircraft as it's a rare Mk1 Avro 748. It's being painted in an early Dan Air livery, an airline once synonymous with North West England.
