Enthusiasts on this forum should be made aware (if they don’t already know) that WA591 is one of this country’s most significant airframes.
WA591, powered by two Rolls Royce Derwents, our first operational gas turbine engine, has been restored to the standard at which it was used to train RAF pilots in the 1950s.
From 2011 through 2015 the T7 has been joy to watch perform at airshows in the UK and abroad.
Surely a way can be found to keep this machine flying at the few airshows that are left in this country.
I fear we are rapidly approaching the point where our jet heritage will be relegated to dead machines behind white ropes

“RESTORATION”

Well it has safe/fire buttons, and the NF (T) was unarmed, so my guess would be it was maybe an upgrade while 788 was still an NF?

Well boys, you seem to be having lots of fun.

But I see little evidence of any serious RESTORATION.

Foolish action to apply power to an aircraft whose cables and wiring have been attacked with axe and hacksaw.
A fire extinguisher would have probably been useless as any electrical flash fire would likely be in the forward equipment hatch. (Inaccessible until the ventral tank is removed).

Exciting to hear relays clunk, but restoration it aint.

Get a plan and stick to it. The knuckle crunching, grotty jobs, like freeing up all the moveable parts, removing corrosion, and applying preservative should come first. Then it’s time to play.

C’mon boys. It can be done!

Will this one do?
