    Hi yes it has 45P … ( Port side ) ??

    and silver on the other side ..

    heres the pic…

    does anyone know how the pits coming along ?? would love to see a pic of that, I gather the rest is smashed up in a yard somewhere, after being used for fire practice back in the 1990s ?

    So.. I wonder.. what IS the true Value of such a wreck.. as i too believe that the pit, is worth saving, and any other parts that could be used /stored for future ongoing static projects, not alot i know, but after seeing pics of her gutted cockpit, on this very site,i can tell you she is in much better condition as a cockpit than i thought, ive seen much worse, when i sat in the cockpit of wv838 in flowers yard all them years ago, it was in a worse shape than the lightning.. but not much i do admit . :rolleyes:… but look at her now.. WV838 seahawk, is proof something in such condition can be made into a lovely exhibit , as a long term project, 😀

    i suppose it all boils down to how much someone is willing to pay for it:D

    Just a wonder, but does anyone ever see the front windscreen for these types,

    I think a visit to Hendon will do wonders, and to find a copy of the pilots notes..

    truth is, i have only dealt with mainly Iridium 192, . so have no information on Radium what so ever, its never been used in my line of work ,

    also i mainly work with x-ray… that is my day to day work. X-ray using a CP160 unit..

    so I have never seen the charts regarding the half life of radium.

    thankyou for sharing it with me .
