Not sure there’s space in Woodford’s museum with a VC10 cockpit joining XM602 apparently.

Hi Rich,

How does the conversion affect the certification of the aircraft when it comes to the return to flight?

I have a feeling I’d read somewhere it will be static only. I think it donated a lot of parts to the runner at Gatwick.

Could be wrong though!

Speaking to the Gatwick team last year (who are far better qualified to comment) it’s going as a static only with spares used for their remaining ground runner.

There is a lot of info on the ‘official woodford farewell’ facebook page. A chap called Steve Abbott seems to be in the know. The email given is [email]avroheritage@gmail.com[/email].

BAe 146 fits the All British tag.

Regards
Mark

U.S engines/APU, wings originally made in U.S, parts of empennage manufactured in Sweden. 748 is possibly last UK airframe/engine civil airliner. There’s a couple left at Southend which might just be the last active ones we have in UK/Europe.

G-OSOE has been given a Kenyan registration at Southend. One of the last chances to catch a flying 748 in the U.K?

Curious post on the link above. Hope it’s good news.
