…ooh matron 😮

…..Secondly, i would like to confirm that F6 cockpit nose section XM932 presently at FAST, Farnborough is now also owned by RotAirey Aviation….

Shouldn’t that be XS932 ? :confused:

.

The Harrier GR3 used was XV760, which used to be on Yeovilton gate painted as a FRS1. When the FA2 was placed on the gate they took it away to BAe Dunsfold (I think) and grafted on the nose of XZ493 and this now sits in Yeovilton Museum so painted.
The original cockpit of XV760 also still exist with a collector in Surrey.

Correct, the FRS.1 ditched in the Adriatic and later recovered. Its nose was grafted onto the GR.3 airframe, but only Harrier purists can spot the difference in the rear fuselage area when visiting the FAAM.

The nose of XV760 is very complete & unmolested inside, and is owned by ex-Dunsfold employee Phil Boyden.

He has a GR.3 laser nose for it, but at present it is in storage still in its ‘navy grey’ paint and with dummy ‘tin’ FRS.1 nosecone still fitted.

Be afraid…be VERY afraid….last time it was discussed on here one or two posters got quite excited about copyright issues and one or two others got pm’s outlining dire consequences to nether regions should they dare to copy the series for someone else! 😮

Just thought I’d mention it!! :rolleyes:

Yes indeed, i was one who offered to help people, but was threatened not to proceed……. what a strange world eh ?

Its nice to see another Sea Harrier being saved, just how many have ended up in museum’s ?

It seems like more than most people expected to be saved have been saved.

Can i humbly refer you to at least 2 threads on the subject ?

Namely… ‘Harriers in museums’ and ‘Preserved Harrier pictures’. Just click on the ‘search’ function at the top.

Cheers……. 😀

…If only someone was brave enough to give us a Hercules option on the Lancaster.

Eric,

I think somebody like Aeroclub or Paragon do indeed make a Mk.II conversion, or at least they did.

Try ringing Hannants or T.A.S. to pick their brains. 😉

Yesterday at Eggesford I was shown a series of photographs of a number of Auster AOP.9s in a scrapyard, the serials of two being XR267 (now under rebuild I think?) and the prototype WZ662 (which is airworthy at Eggesford). XR267 is……..

You were at Eggesford ? 😮

I suppose being Auster mecca it isn’t surprising, but next time your there i’ll pop along.

We can go over some maps for that Land Girls ‘109, also your Auster scrapyard. If its still there, i’ll go fetch it……….. 😉
