Would prefer to let them go together rather than separately too 🙂
First time ive seen a Jindivik trolley close up. I remember seeing one of these take off, complete with accompanying Hawk behind it at Llanbedr in 1986 whilst on holiday.
Nice pics.
Forgot this bit..
Yes, i have a pic of them… but as i said no recollection of Sea Hawks!
😀
Great idea. But can i just say i personally would prefer a subsection to Historic. These are after all historic photos and aircraft now.
Great photos by the way guys (and girls ;)).
I second Cees’ comments… nice one John.

Hi Ollie, as we’ve discussed before i’m pretty sure that they are the same Wyvern (my moneys on VW871), as Mark12’s photo shows a TF.2 with what appears to be new cowlings and panels from the engine bulkhead forward. If not then its a strange coincidence.
Also interesting to note another Wyvern with wings folded to the far right in your engineless pic.

Thats the one Mark thank you :). Shame the serial is still not obvious but i have a pretty good idea which one it is, as it sheared its entire engine off whilst taxiing through turbine failure.

Roborough – After a quick check the only one i can find that ended up being scrapped at Fleetlands was TF.2 VW876. This came from Farnborough after a wheels up landing there.

Mark12 – Thats the TF.1. Its the wingless TF.2 thats seems to be elusive (apart from the pic you supplied for the newspaper article).
Roborough – That does sound familiar. I’ll check through and get back on that one.
