Sadly the Herad is too small for what is proposed for the 1-11,beside we want a collection that represent’s Jet aircraft that paved the way for Concorde.The Herald was not a sucess on a level of the 1-11 ,146 and Trident,Concorde was indeed different in many ways.Remember the best selling British Turboprop was the Viscount.:D

European has agreed to donate the aircraft,sadly we do not have space for the Herald
To be honest, I’d far rather you saved the Herald than the 1-11

Dont panic,G-AWZK has lived outside for 22 years and she has harldly any corrosion,care and maintanance on a daily basis is the key,but yes they need a nice warm and dry hangar!!:D

The website isn’t exactly helpful to anyone who DOES want to help:
Donations for Mike Foxtrot
DETAILS WILL APPEAR SHORTLY
Payment by Cheque
GBP (£ Sterling) cheques should be made payable to “” and sent to:
It’d also be informative to understand how much has to be raised – I don’t mind giving to worthy causes that have a finite financial objective, but I don’t tend to donate to bottomless pits.

Cal900 Hush kits are the cans fitted to the end of the Spey powerplant,to make it quieter.
By: cal900 - 16th December 2007 at 19:10
Just reading the site, few questions.
What does “hush-kitted” mean?
Have Manchester agreed to take it?
It funny how a change of paint can make a plane look so modern.
Good luck to them.

And I believe there is a plan afoot to repaint her in British Caledonian colours…? That’s got to be worth chipping in a few quid for.:D
