You can always get your aviation wares at GB Air Spares:D
You having a clear out Tony!!

:diablo: Bring them here – nice table alongside the display!! 😀

From my ‘limited knowledge’ I believe that a lot of people are underestimating the tremendous effort that the BBMF personnel and their ‘support teams’ put in to the successful operation of the Flight.

There will be genuine reasons (some already stated) for making this appeal and their (BBMFs) ongoing efforts to resolve this issue should be applauded not questioned – please keep up the great work that you undertake! 🙂

R1 – Newark

Still no change as far as Newark is concerned!

Flying, on ground, in service, in a museum etc – what for?? 🙂

Also – be prepared to move very quickly to collect them!! 😀

No reply from the VP as yet; but RHP from the earlier post stands for Ransome, Hoffman and Pollard.

Prompted by the above posts I would add the following.

IIRC in 1974 the apprentices at RHP undertook the restoration of a sectioned Hercules engine for NAM and displayed it at their Factory Open Day.

That year RHP also provided road transport to collect the Hurricane BoB replica from the Pinewood Film Studios (my first ever museum ‘aircraft’ movement). This was also displayed at the open day alongside the Spitfire BoB replica.

Could their bearings have been used in both types? :confused:

Not sure whether it was the same year but I also recall that Magister G-AKAT was displayed at a RHP Open Day!

One of NAM’s Vice-Presidents used to work at RHP so I’ll make him aware of this thread and try to jog his memory.
