I was on site at Newark Air Museum back in 1983 when their Gannet AEW3 was delivered & offloaded by MARTSU. The wings were unfolded using a handpump by different members of the delivery team.
As I recall this mechanism was located somewhere in the rear fuselage.
I wrote an article on the move for FlyPast but I do not have a copy immediately available to see whether this procedure was mentioned.
Cockpit-Fest news: “We have just added details of the first participants who have confirmed their attendance at Cockpit-Fest 22
Details in here http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/Cockpit-Fest_2022
Regular updates will follow!”
Thank you for the feedback, which I will share with everyone at the museum – it seemed to feel like a good Aeroboot given how long the sellers stayed for. As you say here’s to another good sale at Cockpit-Fest, the bookings were being made on Saturday, which is another good sign.
