I know an article about this aircraft appears in the latest FP, but for those who haven’t seen it, Cessna 150 G-AVAA is Aeroventure’s latest restoration unveilling.
While they may not be everyones cuppa, the type is significant to Doncaster (& for this forumite as a 150 gave me my first taste of powered flight.:))
I haven’t seen it in the flesh as yet, but the photo’s in the magazine do the aircraft proud, so both John Stables & Bill Fern deserve congratulations for a restoration job well done.
.
As it stands it is still a few bits short, so if anyone can help with, or have leads to source the following parts it will be appreciated:- various instruments, a set of exausts, starboard flap & cabin air scoops- please call John at the museum 01302 761616 or PM me.
Many thanks, Rad

What instruments are they short off? cabin air scoops, are they the riveted on external jobbies for radio cooling, the cooling door below that or the internal ones in the top of the doorpost?
Tony, I’ll be honest- I am not sure, I am only appealing for the parts on the museum’s behalf & I have yet to get over to Donny to find out, hence the museum contact number for James – he is the museum project co-ordinator & has done the bulk of the work on the Cessna, so if you can help – he’ll be able to tell you what is needed.:)
Thank you for replying so quickly.
