Its a great joy both to me and other Ex Eagle employees to see that the Brit is to be reassembled and painted in British Eagle colours. I am sure Rodger will be overjoyed having taken the responsibility for its welfare over many years and I guess at a great cost.
I well remember the day it arrived at Heathrow from the defunt airline Transcontinetal of the Argentine and was positioned into Hanger 4 for its freight door mod. At the same time it underwent a check 4. Bristol engineers were very helpful in the assistance with the door mod. Evey single item was overhauled and in a sence produced a zero hour aircraft. The aircraft had at that time flown only 4337 hours. Its test flight after its time in the hanger produced very few defects, a tribute to engineering skills of Eagle staff. The door was an ex- air ministry and was for a 252 RAF type Britannia. CF being the first civil Britannia to be converted cost £150,000. With much learnt from this conversion the next aircraft (CG) cost less between £80,000 and £100.000.
What a sight it will be to see an Eagle Britannia next to the old terminal
at Liverpool.
A number of the old Eagle flight deck crews now in their 80,s and 90,s look with great interest at the restoration of CF. Who knows, would it be possible for Mr Harold Bamburg chaiman and founder of Eagle to crack a bottle over the old girl when she is ready?
It also go without saying a big thank-you to the Jetstream Club.
