Correct is is the ex-aberporth one, WT680. she has now moved to the other end of the car park after her respray. She now has her code back on the side and is waiting for a few graphics for the letters etc. I would have posted some pics of the move as I took plenty, but not had time to resize them to fit on here, plus cant take any more as my digital camera has packed up. The brief story of the move is in the October issue of Flypast on page 7. She is looking much nicer now she has been moved, reassembled, sprayed and back on display. It is attracting lots of interest in its new home on display for all to see. Hopefully she will now stay in this good looking condition with the ATC looking after her, alrready been down with the polish once to get her shiney, afterall it is nearly her 50th birthday.

Jsut to keep those interested up to date, the wings are now back with the fuselage and have been reattached to it. She is now sitting on her own wheels again, being cleaned and readied for a respray.

Well the fuselage is now at its new home with the wings to follow later this week. After arriving at the aircraft about 9.30 sat night, working on the pannels for a couple of hours then starting again at 6am/ We finally moved off at 8.30 sun eve an arrived home at 5am aftera journey of about 300 miles. She is looking in need of some TLC, but a good clean and a lick of paint will have her looking great again. Many thanks to all those who offered help and advice in moving her. It all came in useful.

I think Henlow’s was recently resprayed by the guys at RAF Wittering from what i heard if i have remembered correctly.

Ray Jade, not in a position to say how much this one cost, but i have heard of another going for around the 5K mark.

MarkG, cheers mate, got them today.

Anyone know of any other FG.1’s still around, someone i spoke to seemed to think it might be the only original one left?

Thanks for the info guys, its all much appreciated. Trying to get in touch with a few people now and also getting some good gen from you guys aswell. Will keep you informed of the progress. Should hopefully get it over in the next couple of weeks then we can look at the paint job to get it into true colours, favouring the DFSL scheme at the minute.
