According to Wiki, the assymetric armament was down to the landing light installation in the port wing – which begs the question, wouldn’t it have been easier to have moved the light?

DH Hornet.

I can’t help wondering if these threads are designed to generate traffic for the OPs own website/blog?

I would wager!

I watched the two guys dismantling/loading it over the past couple of days and it took me back 40 years. With the exception of the HIAB…

Mr Parkhouse?

I was thinking Florida, probably more chance of me going there!
A UK visit by ‘441 would be great though, especially over its old haunts of RNAS St Merryn and Culdrose, a friend of mine used to play in it while it was with a Plymouth ATC unit.

VP441

I think the Shackleton 58 engine (with other bits on) and props would be more of an issue.
Personally I’m just glad that it is enjoyed and flown in the ‘States.

It’s not entirely good news…
The hull/fuselage, including the cockpit has been destroyed, however various cockpit fittings were removed including throttles, yokes, rudder peddels, glass etc were removed. The engines & props, some structure, undercarriage and other major components are in a trailer. All the aforementioned is for sale, but it is stressed that it is all to go in one lot by someone who has the capability to go across to the site and remove the whole lot.
I can provide a contact number to anyone who is serious about making enquiries or taking the bits on.

PS, I would of course be interested in buying a yoke or mainwheel of the possible buyer!

That seems a fair shout, thanks.

BTW without checking, I think 214 was possibly the last Lockheed produced Neptune.
