‘I am pleased to confirm that work will commence on the conservation of IWM’s Handley Page Victor in late April 2016.
The aircraft will be dismantled in the Conservation Hall in AirSpace and transported to the Conservation in Action hangar. While a survey of the aircraft has shown the aircraft to be in better condition internally than the exterior appearance would suggest, the conservation work is likely to take between three and five years.
On completion, the Victor will be displayed in the AirSpace exhibition’

Not before time, good to hear she will be going indoors after the work.

Mike Eastman has asked me to post this update:

“The aircraft was contracted out to be rebuilt by another museum. The fuselage and tail have been completed so far the wings are in build.”

The fuselage and tail were done by ARG by the way. As soon as the new workshop is up and running the wings will be a priority, ARG now has enough volunteers to work on the wings as well as the Whirlwind and the other on going projects. I wouldn’t mind building the wings myself.

I helped rebuilding the fuselage. But due to the changing of the site of the workshop things are on hold at the moment. But watch this space.

Thanks Geoff, I did see the post on Kermit’s FB page. I would love to see either fly. Better still both.

It’s the one owned by the late Bill Richards. It was on loan to Mike Eastman, I have spent many an hour working on it.

The three on the left look like civilians.

Did anyone take photos? I would to see some.

I think he posts some interesting threads, pay per click or not.
