Has anyone an idea where to get an old Cockpit Voice Recorder or Flight Data Recorder? Which so much scrapping of old aircraft around I’ll guess somebody is selling those. As many of the old FDR’s are only registrating 4 parameters, I don’t believe there is a 2nd had demand for these, except for scrapvalue. BW Roger

Roger,
You might want to get in touch with Ryanair, apparently they will be sending their 732’s to Prestwick for scrapping in the near future. There’s also a former Polar Air 747 sitting there at the moment awaiting the scrap man’s axe.
If I hear anymore on the 732’s I’ll let you know.

it would make the plane so heavy it would never lift of. Also, the walls would be so thick you would need a widebody to have 3 or 4seats per row. Not quite economical.

I also have a Super Connie window, a complete Transvia Holland Caravelle wingtip, a Caravelle steering wheel, part of a F28 forward wing and lots of (Super) Connie & DC-7 instruments & cabine parts ( now that I think, a stewardess is also still missing in the collection 😀 ) BW Roger
You must have one big bookshelf Roger !
Oh, and as Billy Connolly once asked…. Why don’t they build the rest of the plane out of the same material as the black box ? 😀

Both CVR and FDR of the ELAL machine were recovered the night of the crash. Don’t belief the story they weren’t. That story is just told to cover up things by the governements involved. BW Roger

They still haven’t found the Bijlmer CVR’s, so if you get your scuba gear on you might perhaps possibly find it in the lak at the nearby park. 😀
Or otherwise Israel? :confused:

Maybe it’s the last piece in Roger’s ‘build a boeing’ quest ? (lol)
