I’ve seen this one up close numerous times. If I remember correctly it had a gear up landing or something. Mostly empty inside and lots of “hangar rash”. It was used as a parts bird for another static Fouga.
So is acrylic, what we call plexiglass over here? The stuff you get from hardware stores? If so, I can attest to the shattering. Did a Fouga canopy with it and the first attempt shattered when I tried to bend it.
It’s not a big loss. Whatever was historic about that one was long gone. It was cut into transportable sections to get it to Korea and then crudely welded together again. Inside it was an empty shell. Even the cockpit was completely gone. http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2009/04/abandoned-boeing-747-restaurant.html
Thanks for the update! One thing that has bugged me for a long time though: Would it be possible to click on the thumbnail images so we can see a bigger version of the update picture? No need to post a pic if you can’t see what’s in it :p
