The Electra cockpits were on e-bay a while ago, no takers then???
I just had LN-FOI up on ebay – G-CHNX is in better condition and will remain with the collection. LN-FOI didn’t sell unfortunately, we are desperate for some space!!

I spotted an AV-8 hulk at Wyton a few years ago near the Stirling project hangar – is that the one? if not, anyone know where it is?
I don’t think it’s the Wyton AV-8 – but I’ll post pictures/details when I get them.

Yes, it is ex Fred Olsen. Originally ZK-TEA of Tasman Empire Airlines (which became Air New Zealand). I have fond memories of this a/c as I got my first “verbal warning” as a flight despatcher at Edinburgh in 1976, when I sat it on its tail whilst loading tv sets. The BAA loaders started at the back – I was supervising from the flying club bar….ah well…

Wow, impressive collection, is LN-FOI an old Fred Olsen Electra?
