Trident 3b G-awzk……saved!!!!!!!!!

why is this question being avoided????

Are theengines restorable ti run or not ???

re seating

yeah you got it (it could have ) but as i said BEA and BA never did channel were the only airline to do so.

No, no. I can’t find a picture of it. My data in Airline 5 says the 3B COULD have this confiugartion.

seating

BEA and British airways never configured there trident threes in this mannor the only operator that did was channel airways in the 1970s the had trident 1E-140 s with no galleys and maxium pax config maybe this is what you are thinking about????

So, you don’t believe me ey! I’m so sure there was a Trident series 3 (don’t know letter) that had a very unpopular cinfiguartion of 3/4!!!

Raising the final funds

If you can sort the security out with BAA and BA, suggest fence off an area round the Trident, and organise a ‘Trident photo day’ to raise funds. I for one would gladly pay £10 to take some photos and have a look inside. Anyone else interested?

Originally designed by De Havilland as the DH 121 Trident, it was to be built by a consortium called AIRCO. However, the great amalgamations in the British aircraft industry in 1961/62 forced De Havilland into the Hawker Siddeley group. From that point on it was referred to as the Hawker Siddeley HS121 Trident.

Pfuh, British pride! It was an inefficient aircraft with a stupid cabin layout (3/4). Anyway fascinating aircraft series. What company built it!

Trident man I did see the video

I have to admit I watched it about 5 times! It brought back memopries of ridiing in them and watching them from the terminal! Great stuff!
About the engines though could they be run up at some point? There must be plenty of spares around?

WEST BASE

as i am aware all the hangers will be pulled down, the area will be used as an arcraft parking area due to overcrouding in the central terminal area.

Great news trident man. About the demolition of West Base though, that is a pretty big site, is the whole thing coming down, or just certain hangars?

reasons for tridents removal

G-AWZK has to be moved from westbase as BA are moving out of this area the hangers will be demolished and the land returned to the BAA the trident has to go by 31st march as does concorde G-BOAA

It wasn’t allowed at Heathrow for much longer and yes it’s gonna be with the monarch dc10 nosecone,RJX and concorde.
My local airport is MAN so I’ll get to see it every saturday when I go:) 🙂

Hi

Why exactly does the Trident have to be moved ?

Will it be displayed with the Concorde up at Manchester ?

Could her engines be started? or are they seized? If so, is there any chance of fixing them? Would you ever consider it if you could? It would be great if she could be taxied!!!!

Also, do you plan to replace the wing tips which were taken off at LHR? Are the wings the same as those on the Trident on the MAN firedump?

I’m really pleased that she has been saved. Well done!!!

Paul.

a powerd up trident

peter i am going to keep her as alive as she was at heathrow…have you seen the video on our website?????

Great News Neil!!

Well done to you and your team in saving the trident! I was curious, When she gets to manchester, Is she still going to be kept live with power on the aircraft??

Cheers Neil,

I’ll contact you on Monday, got a live football broadcast to contend with in the meantime.:D
