    An interesting find whilst browsing the web this morning:

    http://www.gjdservices.co.uk/html/solomon_s.html

    GJD will not be following up on the visit.

    As an aside they now have lots of pictures from the Soloman islands on their site…:eek:

    I’ve seen Gary’s video of the visit to the Soloman’s, very eye opening, certainly some very rare machines.

    GJD are in the process of splitting the companies website up, one for the professional engineering services and one for the scrap/reclaim services.

    Canberra WH887 could still yield some parts.

    The SHAR is cockpitless as you say, so ZH807 seems very likely.

    Is the Sea Harrier fuselage still there and if so, which one was it?

    Oh yes, the SHAR is still there, but difficult to obtain a decent photo of it though, could not tell you what the serial number is but will check next time I am down there.

    Bringing this thread bang up to date, taken just last month, a Canberra upside down in a skip, I am not a liberty to give any info on its location as it is private and before anyone asks, yes, I did have permission.

    Many thanks for prompt response Ross, do you happen to have a part number for the Spring Box?

    I still can’t believe they are closing you guys down! What is the future for the Bucc? Will it have a one off ferry flight somewhere?

    Don’t worry Peter, the Buccaneer is staying at Bournemouth, but is moving to a new as yet undisclosed location on the airport, I’ll let you know more when I know more.

    Anybody got access to supersession lists? I have a lot of Hardware part numbers which I cannot get LAS Aerospace or ISO Parts to find in there databases.

    There is an update on the Action Group link, dated February 4th, not looking good at the moment, the plans to store the aircraft outside has been turned down by the Airport Authorities.

    Check out http://www.aviation-museum.co.uk/frameset.htm then click on Action Group in the top lefthand corner for more info.

    Its All Gone Rather Quiet

    Does anyone know what is happening, there were updates coming thick and fast on the main Museum Website, but the last update was on January 18th?

    I have a feeling we have been here before, a la Jet Age Museum, which is still trying to find a new home 8 years on.

    Williamson’s yard in central Elgin around 1992 or so.

    If only the Buccaneer Society was in existance back then, we would have had a field day or a few weeks as the case may have been 🙁

    Ouch, but looking closely, it seems as though some of the stab is made up from an early composite or even wood!! Does anyone know the material make of the stabs?

    When I was working out the move, it turns out that on the back of a low loader, it would be possible to keep it intact for a move! That would be a sight through those country lanes as you said!

    You’ve come to the same conclusion as I did, we (Historic Aero Recovery) were tasked with quoting a move on a Gannet sometime back and although the job fell through, it was possible without dismantling but getting a Transport order (VR1) was difficult due to the width.
