Hi folks,
Does anyone know the wherabouts of any Pylons for a Buccaneer. They just don’t seem to exist anymore! They are for completing the restoration of XW544 so we can display (and fast taxi) her with some stores attached. Also on the lookout for any ERUs (ejector release units) for the pylons and carriers and ERUs for the bomb bay,
Numbers kindly provided by superplum
Wing Pylon Inboard – ERU No 120 (twin susp lugs).
Wing Pylon Outboard ERU No 119 (twin susp lugs).
Bomb Bay Conventional) – not MRUs but used ERU (No 4 ?) fitted to carriers (single susp lug).
Any leads greatly appreciated,
Ollie

Can’t help with locating ERUs, but the following clarification is offered:
Wing Pylon Inboard – ERU No 120 (twin susp lugs).
Wing Pylon Outboard ERU No 119 (twin susp lugs).
Bomb Bay Conventional) – not MRUs but used ERU (No 4 ?) fitted to carriers (single susp lug).
Bomb Bay (NW) ERU No 115 fitted to STT carrier. You won’t get those!

Lots of interest in TER’s but as you say pylons first….

TER’s?
No interest in TER’s then – or is it dependent on you getting pylons to put ’em on first?

Thanks everyone for your replies.
Just a shameless thread bump for the pylons and ERUs. I am willing to pay for said items if that’s what it requires for people to “find” them!
Cheers
