Afirm – no Canadian reg yet, but the rumour was that the next one to go (i.e. this one) would become a parts-ship after it arrived in Canada. Still to go is the other Reeve Electra (to join its fellow ex-Reeve a/c at Buffalo at Yellowknife sometime soon), leaving as you say just two!

For a long time at coventry there were two reeve electras – aelutian and illusion. which have been sat there for as long as I can remember!
Sometime towards summer last year, one of atlantic’s electras had been sold – but due to an unfortunate defuelling accident and an impolded fuel tank – the better looking of the reeve electras replaced it – the other one is now sat on atlantics ramp looking ratherforlorn.
Having been inside her – id say she wont be flying again…
:mad:Another classic aircraft gone from the uk.
Does anyone have any recent pics on these aircraft ??
Im after G-LOFA which ended on the dump but i didnt see it when i went to Coventry in 2003/4.
What is lying around at Coventry awaiting the axe etc.:mad:
I’ve got some pics somewhere.
Very little awaiting the “axe” – the museum have lent a F105 cockpit to the fire department for training as its their spare… Reliably informed by the fire crews that its in no danger – They use it for EVAC training
