    could still be hunter, maybe whirlwind, possibly an engine capable of running, perhaps a manky su-22, or a hatch a plan to build a brigand, start a museum or maybe build a provost from grp, and i think the latest is a master with no help from the berkshire boys based around a throttle box that hadn’t been won yet :rolleyes:

    So much for Cosford not getting one then….

    why do you say that ? especially as the link to the Key article says…

    “Six aircraft are to be flown to museums across the UK, the other five being to Manchester Airport, Bruntingthorpe, Coventry, Cosford and possibly Carlisle, although the latter has yet to be confirmed “

    I don’t know what the bloody hell BAe are playing at, out of all the airframes they can choose to use for all this destructive testing, they use one of these? Banning volunteers from it, and no photos? its bloody ridiculous. I can understand that the itchy red blanket of the aviation world, H & S, is to blame, but still…
    As others have pointed out, she’ll still live on in other aircraft, but at the end of the day, she is still going to be scrapped.

    It just angers me that such a wondrous machine is going to go to the chop, I just wish it would happen sooner, its been on death row for a long time and its almost painful seeing her sit there, waiting for the inevitable JCB’s to arrive.

    perhaps you’d be kind enough to tone down the rhetoric & profanity young man ?

    anybody know why MOD is still handing out juicy Harrier GR9 upgrade contracts if the fleet will start being withdrawn soon ? Or is it just another budget black hole?

    I concur.

    The long thin one goes beside left pilots arm on the cockpit wall, the other is the overhead panel although differs in detail from RAF examples.

    I wondered about the identification too…..but I’m hopeless with Hunters…

    …it’s a single-seater…..so does that make it a GA11?

    ‘831’ = GA.11 WT804
