Heron To Become Reef

There is a big hole in the starboard side 🙁

David, thanks for confirming that. I have emailed the link to this thread to a contact at the Classic Flyers Musuem in Tauranga, NZ, this evening, as they are currently restoring a Heron. So you may well hear from someone there if they’re interested.

What a shame it’s being destroyed, it looks to be in good enough condition to make a good static display in a museum if you watch the series. I think the series producers and actors should be the ones clubbed together to make a reef, it’s dreadful. I only watched it once and that was to see the plane.

Dave – good spotting – that is definately a former HATS Heron .

I guess that might possibly be the Heron that has been used as a prop in the kid’s show that’s like a children’s version of Lost. It was seen ‘crashed’ on a beach throughout the series, which is made in Hawaii. It actually looked to be in good condition. The series was called Flight 29 Down. See an earlier thread here on my forum

Did i see a complete Heron on Fleabay a few months ago, for around £4000 ? Or had i eaten cheese before bedtime :confused:

Sorry to hear that David, hope you can sleep well tonight!

The Heron G-AORG is on a major check at the moment with Atlantique Engineering could be spares needed there?
I do know when the group in Jersey bought the aircraft many years ago they had a good supply of spares but as we know sometimes the one you need as a one off will not be there>
