Totally agree about the toilets, the company that runs the show trying to save money, Traffic, not much you can do about that due to the local roads, More Harriers, chaps thats all there is, only 8 airworthy at the moment I believe, plus 3 T8’s

Anyone know what the SHAR farewell flight is at Yeovilton?

Heard it was going to be a mass flypast of 16

There aren’t 16 airworthy Shars anymore as far as I know

Yeah, am working on a letter to them now actually Ian! Will obviously let the forum know what any reply says.

Cheers.

Rich.

So you can read Italian then 🙂

Afternoon,

Any news on these aircraft? I’ve just read about them on Thunder and Lightnings. Shame to see the Fleetlands example a shadow of it’s former self.
J man

‘Shadow of its former self’ XJ481 was cleaned up and had its markings touched up etc for the 899NAS disbandment day, its now stored in ideal climatic conditions inside Cobham Hall at Yeovilton, walked past it today, its looking good, come and see for yourself on the next open day, 16th of September from 1000 to 1600
End of commercial 🙂

Often wondered if there are any Attackers hidden away in Pakistan, I always say that the FAAM Attacker is the only KNOWN example to exist.

This appears to be the the Carlisle example albeit with a tad more corrosion.

Is it still extant?

No, the fuselage sides in the photos crumbled to dust due to the fire damage and corrosion, the largest item left is the engine cowling which is in store at Cobham Hall, for those interested it can be seen on the next open day, Friday 16th September.

Yes Tintagel 6th July 1979. A/c abandoned over the sea, but it turned inland, and ended up as seen,;- there were no injuries.

Thought it was, remember it well, I was working at Culdrose at the time, they scrambled lots of helo’s with medical teams to Tintagel as the reports said that the aircraft had come down on the town. They expected numerous casualties as it was holiday time, but in fact no one was hurt, the aircraft I believe even slid right through a petrol station forecourt before ending up as shown wedged between the houses, a very lucky escape for everyone concerned.
