Jet A1 is a non military avaition kerosne that contains only an anti static additive. The risk to anybody using this fuel of presumably unknown provinence and no certification in a flying aircraft is too great.
I doubt anybody would want to touch. However it will ground run a gas turbine that does not need a militray fuel or power central heating or a run a diesel engine boat or car.Pm me if you need to know more or need an outlet for the fuel I might be able to help.
these were my thoughts entirely 🙂 i said his best bet would be to try and sell it to private collections that ground run aircraft, mainly thinking of XM655 (see if he could donate it :rolleyes: ) who knows, not sure what his plans are 🙂
thanks all 🙂
sounds fantastic 🙂 cant wait to see some footage of that 🙂
i dont think he’s going to dump it lol, but i did tell him that contacting various classic jet groups such as those at brunty would be a good start.
on a new note, you got her running?!
I WANT VIDEOS!!! 😀 nice work 🙂
ok 🙂 will pass that on 🙂 cheers
i think he has rather a large amount of it, enough for him to think supplying an airline would be a good idea?
looked around on googlemaps for potential bases, figured she would go to a civvy base and at a guess thought that finningley might have the space for her? all four of the original Raf hangars look to be intact, and the airport has its own terminal away from the original tech site. seemed perfect to me lol
there are few (if any) other civillian owned fields, big enough with space to provide cover for a vulcan
cheers guys 🙂
is there any thing about JP54 that means it cant be used by civillian aircraft though?
what??? :diablo: with the exception of my girlfriend the sound of a merlin is the only thing that gives me goosebumps?
cut a guy some slack 😀
Could be! I’m a co-owner of one of the GWR locomotives based there. We seem to get the BBMF flying over us down there quite a lot too!
capital job 🙂 i live other side of evesham, been there a few times with one of the oxfordshire MG owners club. i bloody love it! you cant beat the smell and sound of a steam locomotive 😀
back to the thread
Which U2 will he be flying in? do the usaf still have service examples? or would it be a nasa plane?
hey ted, just out of interest are you anything to do with the toddington steam railway not far from broadway?
I remember that as an outsider/newbie to the forum, its very easy to misenterpret the humour from some people that post here.
she came on and defended her project/aircraft.
i dont blame her for doing so, i also think that people should stop jumping on the bandwagon! as it may put her off posting again???
i for one welcome the updates concerning XR770….:rolleyes:
i always felt that if possible finningley would be an ideal place for her?
You dont mix your words do you!…
To be honest, in this day and age you have to give her some credit for that. few people are upfront these days
wish i had the money for it 🙁 id buy the beau in a second! even live in it if i had to lol
thanks for that 🙂 certainly clears a few things up for us.
