I thought it would show more of the story after it ‘landed’ “The engines will be recovered tomorrow.” so were they? and we never got to see the aircraft in the preserving rig at Cosford. Only half a documentary, please can we have the other half?

The jets were almost buried in undergrowth when I was there last Summer!

Three is impressive when you see them fast taxi together as they do at Bruntingthorpe Peter!

A Royal Navy Gannet, one prop stopped howling on a low pass over a ‘Navy Day’ at Chatham Dockyard.
A childhood memory of the 50s. 😉

Some of the structure that was unusable was assembled on a display nearby. A visitor is able to walk through and see the crew stations laid out. The Wellington hangar is due to be dismantled, restored and moved to a site nearby to leave the race track main starting straight clear. They have the preliminary Lottery grant to plan the work, a very big job.

Maybe the Brooklands Museum have some information on his time with Vickers?

I visited the deHavilland museum last Summer and was told of plans to build a new large hangar to put some more of the airframes undercover. I had always thought that moving to one of the hangars on the aerodrome would have been better but I can understand that having the prototype on the site where it was built was important. Perhaps it would have saved the Trident from its fate rotting on the airfield.

And to miss that the prototype is under restoration there too. I think Jerry Yagan would admit it took more that a lot of money to build his Mossie. Some guys in New Zealand put some hours on it too…..
