The picture likely records the first official act of the Northern Aircraft Preservation Society.

NAPS was formed late October 1962 and BZM was moved from storage at Lymm Grammar School to Stretford a few weeks later in November.

52 years later BZM is still with the group (renamed to The Aeroplane Collection in the early 70’s) and as you say on display at the Museum of Science and Industry Manchester.

Meteor T.7

AH8400’s were also fitted to single seat Vampires and late mark Spitfires but without the additional “Press to Mute” toggle switch. Same design grip in Sea Furies but for some reason a different AH part number?!

Also pretty sure this is the same column discussed a few weeks back –

Either way, a nice column that along with numerous others I wouldnt have minded acquiring! Enjoy your new acquisition.

Checked what I have for FB5 VZ193 to see if there are any spare – sadly I only have 2!

EEP – English Electric Preston
EA2 – Canberra

Taking into account it’s construction sounds like you have a Canberra weather cover of some sort 🙂

Sure the Canberra experts will be able to add more info shortly.

Reading that article, they are aware this is a bitsa with no known identity arent they?

“The original identity of this aeroplane is unknown and it has been restored in markings typical of those worn by Austers of the period. Prior to restoration it had been marked with various spurious identities such as ‘TJ472’and ‘G-ALES’, it is currently marked ‘TJ398’ as a representative marking of the type.”

I believe there’s another Vampire located in my neighbouring village if Glentham Lincolnshire. Can anyone shed any light on this one? I believe it’s a T11.

A quick bit of googling would suggest the pod of T.11 XD595

The Telegraph headline is a tad misleading as the article is actually “a selection of the experimental flying oddities dreamed up by aeronautical engineers SINCE the 1950s” rather than solely from that period.

Cockpit is the remains of a long nosed Blenheim, which wouldn’t tally with the tubular frame rear so like you say has the look of bits thrown together.

The U/C indicator may not be the correct one as was loose, though the small scrap of paper it came with does list one being fitted.

There is also a “Door Warning” light so taking into account what has been mentioned so far could it be from an Avro Tudor as that was pressurised?

Does anyone have any cockpit reference material that any help confirm or deny that theory?
