Glastonbury 2015 aircraft I.D .

Interesting stuff, Anon, always wonder where the stuff goes between festivals, although there is quite a circuit over the summer.

The previous Andover fuselage was supplied by the Sandbach Car & Commercial scrapyard at, you’ve guessed it, Sandbach. It resided there between events sat atop a container near the entrance.

A friend of the proprietor use to make stuff with aircraft parts so it’s probably a safe assumption that this is where the present “exhibits” originated and are stored during the rest of the year.

Always a good scrapyard to visit (certainly until a few years ago). I got some great stuff from there (Phantom spares, Twin Pin cockpit, brand new Leonides spares, brand new a/c fixings, etc, etc) when the museum I was a member of was based nearby and we used to bob across on a Saturday. A great bunch of lads, too.

Here are a couple more bits. The pods mention hoses and had Flight Refueling labels so a wild Holmsian deduction points to Victor or VC10. The engine pods were identified by my wife, who found a stamp which helpfully said Boeing 747. No sign of the Andover or Wessex this year and none of the automata. All the aluminium presumably smelted to make Nitrous oxide capsules.

Gazelle head.

PZL-Bielsko SZD-9 Bocian. With a helicopter cockpit as a head from St Mary Bourn scrapyard. Featured on this forum before, I believe.
