    Andrewman 974 will never fly again

    She is the original S.2 Bucc but half of her is S.1 stuff Including the brakes which are almost dead now. No spares=no flying

    Well it’s all over

    Sat home this afternoon watched the last flights on sky news and thought to myself never to be seen again. BUT the press are still talking about BA keeping one flying, but what about airbus is this just the BA press machine working overtime or are they really trying to save one. As for concordes going overseas im totally against it as the british tax payers paid for the aircraft they should be kept in the UK for those people who paid for it and could’nt afored to fly in it to visit it in all it’s glory on the ground.

    Hi British Canuck

    It’s unlikley that all the aircraft at doncaster will go undercover there is limited space. There are plans for Y.H.P.G to put up a blister hanger on site to house all the helicopters, which should free up space in the hangar but the DC-3 that the museum has is planed to go inside.

    Hi Trumper

    My lightning is F.3 XP706 at aeroventure in doncaster. It had it’s wings and tail cut off when removed from binbrook. It was sold to 2 guys who moved it to strubby airfeild in lincolshire(one of the guys was stuart scott who has written a very exelent book on the lightning). It was then sold to a guy who moved it to the bomber county museum at hemswell, and then i bought it in june 2002. I have a new set of wings and a new fin to fit and it is been rebuilt to as near as operational condition as we can.

    Hi Steve

    Yeah the wiring is proving to be time consuming but if it’s all gonna work again once the aircraft is back in one piece it’s gotta be done.

    Hi all

    I think the duxford and hendon ones for static, and all the ground runners and flyers. And mine of course:D
