…i would have to be F-117 Stealth.
Been around long before people realised, strike hard and decisive even if flying solo when the chips are down (through the radar of course), and actually getting the job done with all the triple-A and other crap flying about 😀
very sad news but alas it is true, shes currently being stripped of all usable spares….
Perhaps not quite so [quote] “confirmed” ?

Counter rotating is where the propeller on one engine goes clockwise and the other engine goes anticlockwise ala d h hornet with merlin 130 & 131s therefore having no tourque effect .

More often called contra-rotating.
Moggy & Mick,
Thanks for that, but i am quite well versed in what makes a Shackleton tick.
The term “counter-rotating” is a quote of the term used by ‘Beurling’ in his post/s.
Perhaps your explanation should be re-directed to him ? :rolleyes:
.
It is interesting that it is off of a Shakelton as I was under the impression they were griffon powered with the counter rotating gear boxes (6 blades).
Thats right, they are.
3 blades go one way, and another 3 behind go the other way = [quote] “counter rotating” !
Indeed, have a good one Bruce…….. 😀

IWS Could you tell me the serial number of the Harrier cockpit you recently sold?? i have trawled the threads but cant find it, regards Steve.
As i said in the other thread, it is an unflown test shell hence no serial number :rolleyes:
.
Anyone know the registration of the Harrier cockpit in Neil Airey’s garden??? its a T4…
Its forum member Ian Sheffields unflown test-shell nose as shown in post #11 of this thread, as well as various other threads including this one…

Looks like a Meteor.

Dave,
Most of the airframes & cockpits are owned not by FAST but by seperate owners.
Without publicly going into why, E-402’s owner no longer wished to remain a Hunter owner and it was sold. They still have T.7 WV383 and XE650 nose on loan to them anyhow.
.
Look forward to your in depth & critical review Cees…!! 😀

Keep an eye out for TSR2’s, Victor’s, and pretty much anything ‘Airfix’ the rate things are going 😮

Martin,
The Oxford remnants consisted mainly of the non-wooden parts, but i have posted photo’s showing the recovery operation in another thread, thus……

Cheers………
