I saw a comment on FC’s site regarding Jaguar XX145 – allegedly on Cranwell’s dump now?

If this is true, can’t it be saved? Seems like a terrible waste of an interesting aircraft when something less valuable could be used? Can’t NAM rescue it?

If and when it ever comes up for disposal perhaps you could offer to buy it for NAM – nice philanthropic gesture and all that!! 😉

NAM

:diablo: 😀

– Limited flying display – dependent on aircraft transiting through the low flying zone** or being in a wide circuit at RAF Waddington
– Extensive ‘static park’ with just under 70 aircraft and cockpits on display daily
– Don’t let the weather put you off as 44 aircraft are displayed under cover
– Open all year round
– Aircraft access sometimes possible
– Nice friendly welcome always guaranteed

Admission: Adults £6.25, Over 60s £5.75, Children £4.00 and Family ticket [2 adults & 3 children] £18.50. Appointments are preferred for Group [15 plus people] visits, although not essential and a party rate booking information pack is available on application. Gift Aid rate is available, which greatly assists the funding of the museum’s activities!

** Low fly area currently believed to be under evaluation / monitoring due to possible complaints by a local resident (equipment installed on ex-airfield). 😡

IIRC you’ll find that both pieces of legislation apply – certainly to groups, traders etc you need to have a license – not 100% certain about an individual.

Good sensible advise thankyou I will take it. 🙂

Your post about RSA93 nudged the grey matter to recall IRR99 and the Radman Associates advice. 🙂

….Apparently you have to specify ‘swept’ or ‘spread’ on ordering, as that’s fixed then. They make a wide load, and the RAAF Museum’s F-111G ‘Boneyard Wrangler’ was prepared, sent and re-erected by 6 Sqn Squadron staff at the Museum. They did a good job, and I’m sure they’d like a holiday in the UK, but I suspect the ADF wouldn’t be keen to pay tickets.

I must hasten to add this is all idle personal speculation but I presume that the wing pins have a similar locating principle to those on the MiG-23 and MiG-27? :confused:

Good ‘in-house’ experience exists on those airframes! 😀 :diablo:

:diablo: NAM could do a ‘what if comparison’ with its collection of TSR-2 bits – if nothing else that would create a big talking point! 😀 😀

… Waiting to be shot down but as somebody said earlier who was willing to transport a Shack in those days or even today.

Newark was in spring 1977 – a Mk.3 Phase 3 🙂

Others followed including Gatwick!

Where there’s a will there’s a way!!
