I wonder if you could replicate the same flight path, weather conditions and circumstances as that of BEA’s Bealine548 that came down in Staines shortly after take off in ’72

Steve the incident was indeed re tried so to speak…it was carried out on my freind’s T3 sim G-AWZQ for Channel 4’s Black box programme..

G-ARPI on short finals LHR 1971

FLY.BY
Yes the Convair 990 612mph…then the Trident 1C 610mph…The fastest subsonic airliners!

Quote from an ex Trident skippper freind of mine…

The Trident 1 had a M.88 cruise with a Vmo of 385 We used to demonstrate them during Base Flying to M.93 as required by the 1179 form. I have seen them at M.97 with no mach buffet until some G pulled and then only very slight. I remember a time when we were hasseled by a pair of Spanish F86s after departing from Gibralter and managed to pull away from them at m.9+

As Tony says we have the MLG removed from G-AWZN during 1995,the hady thing with Trident’s are the MLG’s are interchangeable left and right so there is no problem there,also the Trident 2E at BFS would be an ideal candidate fro a rudder swap…:D

If you are interested, then come and have a look, but it will be a question of all or nothing!

Bruce,id happily come down and take the lot from you…..Last time i was down i donated some instruments and paint samples for the repaint.I met up with Brian Kern.Bruce i have to ask what you want to do with G-AWZN’s main gear….as we could do with it?

Out of interest how will the wings be reattached once it has been moved given she will be cut inboard of the undercarriage?

Jon,i plan to cut the wings just outboard of the main gear………not like we did with WZK..we will use plates between the spars and on the spars.
