Hornet Guru Here….!
Hello all
I was a little slow seeing this thread!! Nice picture of the Australian Hornet.
The Hornet project in Scotland is no more. So that just leaves mine, i guess?
Current Project status so far is: Museum static fuselage project – built as per the original as a new build.
1) All relevant drawings/AP’s/production line and component photo’s collected.
2) All known (UK located) parts sourced, or promised.
3) Bulkhead construction started Jan’04. Placed in storage on completion.
4) I’m helping to arrange the Hornet pilots 50th anniversary reunion for May 2005. Possibly up to 40 ex-hornet pilots to attend. The date is 50 years from the a/c leaving RAF service. I will be providing a cockpit internal mockup as a centre piece. Venue TBA, but probably near London – see aviation press nearer the time.
5) My colleuge is looking to aquire the canadian wing, and some engines.
6) Possible squadron print of hornet RAF/RNAS to be produced and signed by ex-pilots at re-union for fund raising for the event.
7) Investigating setting up “DeHavilland Hornet Project” website. A lot of people have expressed an interest in seeing one, to follow my progress.
