    Oh no it isn’t! At best I’d let you get away with honeycomb aluminium, but please, not composites. Only the GRP fin cap, Stb No1 Leading edge and a few internal panels.

    I stand corrected and better informed thanks Jag…… I assume then the Jag was built when real airplanes were still being built not like the “toy” ones of today?

    the main prob the scrap vultures have got is once theyve got a Jag most of it is made of composites not a lot of good to them really, but £6K start off price is a bit ridiculous especially when once you have bought it, you have to restore the cockpit. Lets see now, Bang seat, panels, intruments and unless you are a clever bunny, you’d never get any ground power into it, coz thats what Id be aiming for. Bex

    Depends if you are talking about the whole nose or just the flight deck?! One is far more managable than the other!

    If the 3 Nav stations were totally butchered then one could be forgiven in just saving the flight deck. But if the Nav stations were viable then the whole nose would be viable, but, a decent framework would be needed to support it. Bex

    Dave T & Jon H, great idea guys, Im game, perhaps someone could save just the cockpit. Next question then folks, where to put it if it was saved? My own biased view would be Gatwick, but u guys are further a field than 5 miles down the road from there like me. Bex

    A PR7 electrical manual will do nicely at some stage, and yes the public can help, ive already had ex Cranberry pilots visit 773, and……. they both flew 773 in 58 Sqn. Ah that reminds me, Les if you read this, Ive got the name & email of the pilot who flew 773 from Germany to Wyton on its transfer back. Also Im hoping to fill up a nice visitors book of ex 773 crews (or any Cranberry drivers) Bex

    Hmmm someone mention Avons again, well my choice, surprise surprise, Canberra PR7. To coin a phrase from TV its rather fitting “Avon calling” (Smile please)…….. ok the bit in brackets is my add on but fitting for a flying camera shop. Bex

    I know what you mean about reading Mart, since I started WH773, Ive studied the museums guide, Ive digested Les’s website, Ive got a tech manual (AP) & 2 books from the library, Ok as a kid I thought I knew me Cranberry’s, but er no I didnt but Im getting there oh and Im destroying Malcs brain with numerous questions!!!!! All this because 1. Im on a vertical learning curve about restoring & fixing broken aircraft & 2. I dont want to look a complete plank when someone questions me about the aircraft they see me working on!!! Bex

    Hi all, I have a question, why was there a difference placed on pilots breaking the sound barrier in a dive or level flight? Was it a case of any nutty pilot could break it in a dive? Ive read the discussion with interest but a little confused over the difference between to the two. Bex

    Thanks to the happy go lucky space cadets that seem hell bent on ruining society, it seems resepct has gone out the window, especially when it comes to remember sacrifices made by others, add them loonies to the list too folks. Moocher gets my vote!!! Bex
