    just a thought about DROPS my local ta unit has DROPS capability if we can split it and lift it, it could be good PR for them, they helped move a dambuster bomb to elvington and its their bread and butter moving stuff about

    yes of course there is fort paul, but will they have the kind of cash i think they will want for her? and secondly there is the question of salt air corrosion (must be a factor on the baverley as well) would a smaller airframe stand the punishment in winter? as most airframes of this size would be locked up in a T2 some where

    wondered when the vandalism would start is there anyone at the company to contact? elvington would be the sensible option, look what happened to that varsity near the factory, scrapped for nought, time ask methinks before the gas axe falls.:eek:

    thats a nice looking aircraft, just goes to show what happens when hard work pays off, this maybe a shot in the dark, but is there a swift in the same condition ?

    By Phantom I guess they mean the simulater?

    I dont know why they dont use the sims any more. I remember the argosy one working a while back – you would think they would be good revenue as well. Unless theres some rule on using the Phantom one – after all what use is a simulater that doesnt work, as an exhibit?

    What happened to the victor sim that used to be in Lincolnshire?

    there appears to be a simulator in the restoration shed at elvington (cockpit section) its got wires cables coming out of it and a conventional door handle, looks like it had been painted anti flash white and it looks very much like a victor to me
