Plenty of SHAR bits at Predannack and CUs SAH, my mate drives them for a living. There’s meant to be a few airframes (inc GR.3s -one being Trans Atlantic air race) being disposed of soon.
Gutted and severly weathered GR.3 fromMawgan went for 17K 7 years ago, so this price isnt bad.

Lets hope they get that lottery grant, interesting history of the Connie!:)

no worries, that sounds like my average day at work in air traffic!:D

I did, Bex, just wanted to add my opinions;)

What is it then? I was thinking late swift, but not quite right:confused:

Theres some fanciful talk on here! Flying and taxing TSR.2s!
Its remarkable that two survived into museums, and a nose section (Farnborough?) as it is. Many ’50s & 60s projects (Supermarine 547, Saunders Roe rocket/jet, P.1154 etc) didnt have any survivers.
The truth is nobody will ever know how good the aircraft would have been in service, it looks typically ’60s lead sled and is a massive aircraft. We might not of had the Jaguar and Tornado IDS, both manouverable and good at their job, and the RAF might not have received the Buccaneer and Phantom, if the TSR.2 made it in to service. The Vulcan and Canberra probably would’nt of remained in service for as long as they did, read 607 and imagine if the same thing could’ve have been done with TSRs.
I love the TSR.2 for what it was, and Im glad there are two nice ones to look at, and a few kits to build of it.

Vickers Comercial type 10 surely! Or the Trident, maybe the Hermes V, erm Brittania even. No definatly the 10!

Ive got a bit of GANLO (Dr reckons I will get over it though!), Door repainted in original colours with pic of Cunningham and aircraft on it.

I believe both Comet sections arrived in mid ’80s, the nose and cockpit (G-ANLO) was removed in early ’90s, dont know where and wish I did, as it was fairly complete. The mid fusalage (G-ANLO or other?) was scrapped in 2000.

Ive included pics of other aircraft that were either scrapped or ended their days at Mawgan. A big clearout happened from 1999 – 2000, the Harrier was sold, Victor XL190, Shackleton WL756 and Comet section scrapped.

Edit, oh and pic of Lightning nose (can’t remember which one) in field close to Newquay.
