Update from yesterday…

More panels fitted in the flightdeck..

Main gear doors dropped in preperation for flap removal…

Pagen1, yes the Trident has a moving map display and luckily i have the roll too ref Rams horns….we were very lucky i knew BFS had G-AVFE but was unsure if the cotrols were still fitted.I asked Tony to contact the fire service and this he did and to our amazement they were still there,had FE not had them i know that the Trident 2E in Cyprus has them still fitted so if we had not got them from FE this would have been our next port of call.

Thanks for your comment’s ref restoration it’s appreciated.:D

The Trident 2E in question was B2218 ex (B-244) she went off the runway at Kai Tak’s runway in 1988,sadly all flighdeck crew and and one passenger died.

Help needed, instrumentation!!

Happy new year all….We urgently need help in filling the flightdeck with instrumentation.Areas marked with a * either myself or Tony already have them but as you can see we need 30 odd to complete the flightdeck.I am asking now to see if any of you good folks have any that could be donated to the cause??,thanks in advance…..
