Coincidence that the aircraft breaker business planned for Coltishall was withdrawn?

I think KN means inhibited from action, as in items rendered unusable such as as engine mounts etc, rather than inhibiting systems for future running.

Great news about XV752 though, looks like good news for her future.

Blimey only ten, I will have to be very selective here,

Gannet AS-00 Jakarta, Indonesia
Gannet AS-07 Surabaya, Indonesia
Gannet XA331 QAM, Australia
Gannet XA434 ANMF NSW, Australia
Gannet XG888 ANMF NSW, Australia
Gannet UA-106 Berlin, Germany
Gannet XL482 Pima, USA
Gannet XT752 Wisconsin, USA
Gannet XL500 Exeter, UK

hmm leaves me one spare, B-36 at NMUSAF withoubt a doubt.

Why, I like Gannets and I would really like to see and take pictures of the ones that have elluded me, mainly the export examples.
The B-36 is just one of those incredible aircraft designs that I would really like to see, it sums up the Cold-War paranoia in one airframe for me.

Interesting point about locations being the deciding factor, as in reality that is what it would be for me, a visit to Dayton to see the 36 would also allow me to see many other types that I’m interested in, such as the Valkyrie.
Would also like see Saturn V, Gemini and Apollo kit, but feel outside the thread remit.

I don’t think that it felt it had to JDK, that’s why I feel the two industries were very different from each other.
The aero industry of the mid ’40s to say early ’60s was geared to providing designs to specific British/Commonwealth military and civil requirments.
Often these requirements were pushed through (sometimes influenced by company heads) from government bodies and not a customer as such – not in the true commercial sense anyway.
The industry was happy to serve these needs without seemingly being that worried about having external customers, it was making the money from the products that it was selling within the UK sphere under the MoS, AM, Admiralty, and SBAC.
It wasn’t until home demands started shrinking, partly due to the realisation that good and more competitive products starting to be purchased from overseas (principly sound American types for BOAC), that the industry really seemed to think towards other territories customers.
There were some great exceptions to my generlisation of course. Canberra and Viscount to America was a major coup, as was Hunter and BAC 1-11exports later on, but by that stage even the British military were turning to American designs such as the outstanding Phantom and Hercules, both of these made their first flights at around the time that the Javelin and Beverley were reaching successful front-line service.

Ozplane, is this really helping the thread?
The reality appears to be that the British motorcycle industry almost completely died out, but thankfully one firm managed to resurect itself in recent times and has become moderately successful.
Personally I think comparing the Bristish motor industry to the aviation industry isn’t a good idea anyway.

Give me moment, I have to make them first Graham!
