Trident G-AWZK Move date agreed

News update, ZK will go onto the AVP and rebuild will not commence untill September due to the busy holiday period so you can get pics of the fuse. 🙂

Will it be ready for the 10th of August? 😀

Trust me ZK will now be reassembld in the AVP,IMHO the AVP will not move for at least another year.

I thought it wasn’t going to the AVP anymore due to the move?

There are the horixontal surfaces of a T-tail and two engines looking somewhat forlorn in the AVP already. Are they a part of Zulu Kilo?

Can’t wait to see it all stuck back together…

Neil I must remember to send you those little clips of Trident footage I have. Not much but might make a contribution to the compilation you were planning for the finished display.

Yup she sure will be,we used to power the aircraft up at LHR almost every week and evrything works . 😀

Yup the flightdeck of ZK is as it was when she was flying 🙂

Great news, will she be restored to a point that she will be powered up by Ground power?.

here are some more flightdeck pics:

The pilot’s loved it that much they preferred to hand fly it rather than use the Autoland equipment. 😀

Wow, excellent. Must have been a very popular one amongst pilots. Everything looks so well planned, and put in place just right…

Good to hear. Neil, I’ve been looking through your photos on planepictures.net of AWZK, and can’t believe how simple the cockpit appears! Is that the same as it was the day it bowed out of service? Because if so, it seems to put some other aircraft to shame. For example, MD-82:

Thats right Kev they are indeed G-AWZK’s,we put the horizontal stabilizer,engines and inboard flaps there November last year.
