Scrapyard Photos; Any More?

Near Tucson, I presume? Why are they orange…ex-training machines?
About 6 years ago I stopped by a vehicle/helicopter/military surplus yard near the Pima musuem and I bought a rust free tailgate for my old Jeep.
The guy asked if I wanted a H-34. He was selling restored static examples for $10,000.

Yup, it’s Tucson. The image was from a new book by photographer Edward Burtynsky, illustrating man’s reliance on oil and the lansdcapes it has created. Thought provoking stuff.

Looks more like a N10 series Datsun Cherry to me… 🙂

Ha ! my thoughts too ! rare machine these days !

Scrapyard Photos

Interesting thread indeed.

Included is a recently found picture of F-86K poss 55-4866 at Hato Int Airport , Curacau W. Antilles. Yes, from across the pond c. 1982.

The sample included is 1 of 4 F-86Ks found in one of the hangars at the Hato airport in containers that never reached for some reason the Venezuelan coast in c. 1966. The sad part of the story is that all 4 samples were placed to pasture for fire training purposes when no owners were found. Fuselages airframe were 0 Hrs!

If any of you has other pics/info before or after the burning it will be nice to know. Photo G.Hiltermann/milaviation.com. Tks

May even have been this yard as that is in that area across the road from Pima museum. If it was the yard on the corner then it would have been “Bob’s Air Park” which had a few H-34s up until it was cleared.

Anyone seen where I left my H-34? 🙂

I thought it was a Fiat Strada myself…

Actually… think it might be a Seat Malaga… a four door spanish version of the Strada, nee Ritmo…

I’ll get my coat…

Failed my first driving test in a Montego ! Are there any more Montego’s around that could be added to the pile!

Fascinating picture, bits of B24 and PV-2 in there also. What is the smaller fuselage/wing, centre right, looks like it is green?

Scrapped Boeing B-29s are piled up on Tinian in 1946.

Steve, nearly all of that has moved on now. The Ansons after being spares recovered are being used in a display outsie of Nanton.

Bump!

Lost track of this one…never confirmed the location of my ’95 Yale/Boly shot. The most popular guess as to where it wasn’t…is correct for where it was! Nanton, Alberta, remote museum storage site on then-curator Robert Evans’ farm property. May 1995. Besides the pictured Yale and Bolingbroke parts, there were more Boly sections, a T-33 fuselage, several sizeable chunks of a former range-target Lancaster X (sadly the soldiers’ aim had been pretty good), a Battle wing panel, two Crane fuselage frames, and in one corner of the field an amazing “crop” of over twenty derelict Anson I/II airframes. Eventually I’ll post pix of some of that.

Again not a scrapyard but almost, photographed at Felixstowe Ferry probably 25 years ago. Found the photo while looking for something else. Any ideas ?

Does the VC10 not have a Zero Stage on its conways then? We often wondered what the compatability of parts would be between aircraft (CSDU, starters etc)

I’ve only seen one VC10 Conway briefly at Southall. I didn’t pay much attention to it, but it was somewhat different to the RCo17. I’m not sure if they zero staged them, it is difficult to see externally, you have to look inside the engine.

Unfortunatly so, they have an extra stage or two I believe, I don’t know whether the accessories are the same though.

It was in fact one stage, called the zero stage. It was hung in front of the fwd bearing. I have one in my front garden, a zero stage that is.
