Prestwick relics + J41 cockpit location req

Cheers Skypilot.

You wouldn’t happen to be going to a humberside based airline would you? 🙂

The ATP and 748 cockpit procedure trainers are now with AST at Perth by the way.

Maybe…..

Finish at BACX on 29 April, start with Eastern on J41, IOM based, 2 May – I’m after a quieter life…..

I flew ATP’s for a while too and have spent a fair few hours in that wretched CPT cockpit!

Thanks AvroRJ,

One of the fuses went to Doncaster Museum. J32 c/n 986 was outside the MU for a while then its gone to a tech university somewhere. There is however a J32 or 41 fuse minus nose painted in Bahrain defence force colours outside in a corner near flightsheds! Practice for the sprayers before the RJ’s?

According to W&R16 Jetstream 41 G-PJRT was scrapped 3/11/97, with the nose going to the BAe Flying College to be turned into a simulator and the rest to Shewalton Car Breakers in Irvine (which handled much of the Jetstream cull, apparently). The nose disappeared almost immediately, though.
Jetstream 31 N414MX was cut up and 28/6/97 and removed to Irvine.
Jetstream 32 G-31-984 (c/n 984) and the fuselages of c/ns 986 and 987 (see a pattern?) were scrapped 8/97 and removed 2/9/97 – destination unknown.
Jetstream 41 fuselages c/ns 41105 and 41106 were scrapped 1/9/97, no destination given.
Jetstream 41 G-OXLI was dismantled 26/6/97 and removed to Bournemouth for trial installtion use before being scrapped in 1999.
The various static rigs also disappeared, the last being seen in 1998.

Info extracted from Wrecks and Relics #16 and 17.

The two J41 fuselages you mentioned both went to Woodford, cn41106 (in two halves) went in to the Training School and cn41105 (complete fuse) was stored in the MU Stores at the Poynton end of the airfield. Both were removed in 2002/3 to destination unknown.

I was at BAe Flying College 97-99 and the J41 cockpit was still there when I left in July 99, as you say, completely kitted out. I too tried to obtain it for our museum in the Isle of Man and was given the “simulator conversion” line by BAe officials. As the college closed at the end of 99, I have no idea what happened to it after that. There was also an ATP cockpit section there too, but it was totally stripped out, plus some old u/c oleos just lying arond in the grass verges – don’t know what from.

Having subsequently flown the J41 and just about to convert back on to it with another airline, I have a fond affection for the aircraft. Truly the most fun commercial aircraft I’ve flown (we referred to the J41 fleet as “Fighter Command”!)

Andy,

Far from being scrapped, it is now resident at Humberside with Eastern, albeit in a disassembled state.

Cheers,

That would be G-GCJL.
