Is there a reason why ’63 wasn’t preserved as an AEW?
Seems a real mish mash at the mo with MR.2 colour scheme and no APS radome, but also with short bomb doors and no ASV radome.
Apart from WR960 it would be nice to see another Shack kept as it left service – just as a good old AEW.2!
If it ever comes to getting it flying I think the CAA are keen to keep things as one particular known mark or mod. state.
The thing is mate, we have actually got the dustbin to fit to the rear of the old girl, but the bay that used to contain it has a mass of AEW gear in it (or something) as well as a set of long bomb bay doors
it is our eventual intention to fit these parts, but we have more pushing concerns at the moment (as you can imagine) correct me if im wrong, are there any complete MR2 variants anywhere? or are all the taildragger shacks legt AEW.2
The radar was removed because it was dangerous (something to do with the output?) we still have the AEW radome, but it needs some repair.
