Viscount F-BGNR was moved by Allums Plant Hire, sounds like a good job all round.

Contact Phantom Phixer for more information as his website seems to be down at the moment.

They did indeed do a good job for me.

However if you look at the move they did of the Shorts to a school recently they seemed to hit a few things once they got there :rolleyes:

Having done a few aircraft moves now my advice is dont always go for the cheapest. Saying that though there is often no need to go for the most expensive either.

Go with your gut feeling and what I mean with that is, go for who you get on with most when getting your qoutes in and getting advice. Go with who answers all your questions correctly and shows the most consideration to the safety of what you want moving. What ever you are moving can be damaged by lifting it incorrectly. You dont want that to happen.

Merkle why not go to one of those places that rents shipping containers in a secure compound with 24 hour security?

When stuck for a home with the Meteor I approached a local company who were more than happy to store her in the corner of their yard for a few months at a more than reasonable monthly charge.

Out of interest Ken are there any pictures of the remains that were found in Portugal at all?

Just interested to see what you had to start of with. A nice www and a stunning project. I Wish you the best with it.

Very interesting that you should mention that, had a conversation with someone at DSA about the same the other day!

Any comments or thoughts that you can share with us at all?

I thought you all might like to see the one and only time I’ve ever photographed WL405. I took this from an RAE Wessex over Farnborough on 10th September 1970 during a press sortie during the SBAC show. Of course we took off from the RAE side where photography was prohibited, but once airborne anything was fair game and this was parked near our lift-off point!

A stunning picture of her there Adrian. Any chance I could get a hi-res copy from you for my records?

Interesting to note the nose cone. Maybe one from a diff aircraft?

Hi Martin,

Whilst Im posting has anybody got the starboard handed version of this part for sale or swap?

Ive knocking on a dozen of the item shown in the picture but no starboard ones.

I am also looking for a nose wheel retraction jack and radius rod (ie the bits that folds as the leg retracts) sorry no part numbers as Im still o/s the parts manual promised me.

Spent last night putting the finishing touch’s to the framework that holds the nosewheel leg in place on the Meteor. Not the most exciting progress I know but…….:rolleyes:

Ive just managed to acquire a compressor and spray gun but wanting to crack on rather than using up time to learn a new skill Ive just used Halfords Car Paint as the top coat folowed by some lacquer. Colour is a mixed to special order BS381c/283 “Aircraft grey green. Looks nice dont it.

Ive only posted pics of the port side of the framework as the starboard side looks identical. A before and after as they say.
