An Avro Triplane replica was delivered into AirSpace off the back of a lorry today. No I don’t know any more about it. Depending on who I asked it either is or isn’t a flyer. Should be complete by the airshow. Unfortunately the conservation area was closed so I couldn’t get any close up shots. Musical aeroplanes was being played as airframes were moved around in 2 and 3 hanger and I do hope they remember where they stored the tail of the Herald.

I’m sure it’s in “safe” storage like the Hermes tail fin…:rolleyes:

Looks like the Manchester museum of Science and Industry’s Avro triplane, don’t know if it’s flown before but it will do
edit – actually, to correct that, it looks like it’s a second replica built by Manchester Museum (which explains why it looks better than the photos of the other in the museum), and will fly
