😮 how did so many of these beautiful aircraft end up getting blown to pieces? it really is a crime! i suppose at the time no one thought that they were historically significant?
i seem to remember reading somewhere that when the sperrin was sold for scrap, the engines were, by some messup left in the airframe. so they had to buy the aircraft at considerable expense to remove the engines i wonder who got the sack for that little c0ckup?
hey guys, im sure someone will know this. due to the fact that 558 has lost quite a fair amount of weight during her restoration, will that mean that stress on the airframe will be reduced when flying her display or general flying? less mass acting on the airframe at the same speed? if this is true then would her flying lifetime be extended somewhat due to the reduced stress?
….. I think just completely inept goverment decided it was cheaper to buy American aircraft, and wern’t interested in the health of our own aviation industry, progress, or its empoyees.
has much changed? i think it still is 😉 has much changed?
i think what we have is a mis enterpretation, i can see that the title could be read either way, both of you are right, in this instance however the topic is covering a RR Meteor Mk IVB engine, just edit the thread title maybe? 🙂
