I have a few pictures somewhere of a few of the bits Dave Stansfield has. Next question though is where…….hmm…… Wrote to him a couple of years ago and he was good enough to send some pictures with his reply.

Jon,

I took SX300 & SX336 from this yard in 1973.

LA564 came via a third and fourth party but origianted from a scrap yard in Carlisle.

At the time, some wings at Warrington were thought to be Avro Athena. That is not a 100% rock solid ID.

Mark

Ah right – copied the id’s from a previous thread 🙂

Wish that yard was still there! No doubt housing or similar now.

Jon

Well i said it was a beast..:D

Just surprised as that is 12 foot more that a Bristol Britannia unit which is 16ft. Also must have been some serious undercarriage to give over 13ft of clearance.

Jon

EDIT – Just checked and the whole unit was 13ft rather than just one blade.

Sea Hawks are so beautiful.

I agree – hence why I bought the cockpit of one 😀

Jon

Any use?

I have got a feeling I know where the rumour came from and in fact was present when the conversation took place.

Will sleep on it and see if I can remember anything else.

Though in the meantime you can always check it against 496 at Kemble using google earth/maps to see how measurements compare 🙂

Jon

Didn’t Anon on here say that he has got an F-4J UK (ie American type) cockpit under restoration?

Which is the one at Millom…………

Closest have is a flying shot of 839 with 736 Sqn. I Know! like asking for someone’s photo and only getting a photo of their brother..We tried. 🙁

Indeed was worth a try. Thank you very much for taking the time to look though 🙂

The search goes on!
