    I know the owner of the Sea Prince and Pembroke would love to add the C1 from Lasham to the collection at Bournemouth but all attempts to convince the present owners to sell are met with a blanket refusal as they are in the process of rstoring the aircraft themselves !!! The future for this aircraft and the rest of the Lasham collection does therefore not look too bright.

    Nice to see the “historic” shots of G-BRFC/N7SY especially the flying ones from the past. Anyone have anymore we could add to our archives ??

    The only airworthy Pembroke at present is the Bournemouth one (G-BNPH).
    The Coventry example (G-BXES) hasnt flown for nearly two years and has no valid permit at present.
    The last heard on the Swedish aircraft was that it needed a new engine.
    The Bournemouth Sea Prince (G-BRFC) was the last of the type to fly in 2000 when it flew from North Weald to Bournemouth its first flight in nine years. It did appear around the shows in the 1980’s. This aircraft is now undergoing restoration to flying condition and should be back where it belongs within the next couple of months.

    Have tried on more than one occasion to offer a new home for the Sea Prince and to have it restored but they are not interested because they are doing it themselves !! Think any other offers of help would be met with a similar response. Great shame as they are some rare machines there which deserve some more TLC.

    Main leg “breaks” and pivots in the middle allowing wheel to move forward and up into the wheel well

    195 -200 Litres on average, also cannot be used as a Public Transport aircraft as operates on a Permit to Fly not a C of A

    And just to confuse things even more there was the civil Prince Mark 6 with the long nose but single mainwheels as operated by the forerunners of the CAA

    WP321 was 570 with 750 at Culdrose when withdrawn from service. This has been corrupted at sometime during its “civilian” life to 750 one assumes for 750 Sqn which it wears today. The Culdrose Station Flight aircraft was always 999 regardless of the airframe

    No its not the AA one which hasn’t flown for a while now. Its privately owned by Andrew and Geraldine Dixon along with Sea Prince WP321 (GBRFC) both reside at DeHavilland Aviaton in Bournemouth by the museum site.

    Best of luck with the Drover. Been trying to get the Prince out of here for a while. Regret they are less than receptive to idea of moving anything on.
