Sod the harrier. Right, back to Dominies…. how much similarity do they have with the newer range of Hawkers? I know the cockpits will be vastly different, ie. no glass… and the engines different too, but what about systems? Is there a spares source for HS125s?
also no engines. A fully functional, or at least potentially functional aircraft is alot more use thn a completely dead one, also the prices will be reasonably high. There are other aircraft available which would fit the requirements of an EASA part 147 establishment in a much more beneficial way.
From personal experience, I can say that spares support for such an old model is almost non-existant. Unless the MOD sell manuals, and the cashe of spares and servicing equipment, its a pile of scrap. Sorry to be so blunt, but I can’t even get a decent astazou engine stand for a reasonable price, let alone Wheels, tyres, legs or wings. Speaking of wings…. have you ever taken one of these things apart? Nightmare even with the right kit……….
Continuation of the 200 series by SA. Only minor systems difference between the HP-built 200 and these ones. 3100’s use the garrett engine (hence the new designation, and the 41 is a stretched version of the 31.
31 series and 200 series are compatable by the way of large structures only. Even the wiring loom is vastly different – even down to the number of breaks and joints. The fuselage is 99% the same between the 200 and 31, as is the mainplane and tailplane structure.
“Scientists have cautioned that the bone could be from the flipper of a turtle. “
“The site is dotted with the remains of small fires on which meals of birds, fish, turtle and even rat were cooked.”
Ok class, first lesson today in infant level biology is to list five differences between people and turtles….
The panel looks like a tailplane / fuselage fairing panel. From what, I’d only be able to guess…
There’s a 1:48 Jet Provost T3 coming available too….
It is only of interest to the CAA if it leaves the ground….
I would imagine that suitable 3rd party insurance should be sought, but my experience only runs to the requirements for ground running at an airport rather than a private individual’s (air) field. Maintenance-wise, no official legislation, just the ability to maintain the aircraft.
I wonder whether the interest would exist to get a semi-preserved (non-flying) 737-200 painted up in those gorgeous Britannia colours…. :rolleyes:….. I know where there is one crying out for such a paintjob…

yes, and eventually.
Well, IF he does read this and fancies setting up a UK Fantasy of Flight, I have just the location an an army of willing volunteers….:D
-15 degrees celcius in Gateshead at 8am…. the radio was claiming that in the hills by Consett temperatures were down to -28….:eek: We are now at consistent 3ft deep and its still coming down..
Hang on, I’ve just seen a Mammoth….

Agreed, Grumman Albatross…. plus some bits….
