Very environmental friendly indeed ……… recyclable aircraft….did you have a look in the London T-bird?
Did the T-bird’s purchased by (Air Combat Warfare International) ever go into service..I have seen pictures of them in Waterloo?
Just a few more…………..
Peter,
I spotted a picture of the T-bird for London Airport 133422…she is all silver…very nice…
It is a DH Buffalo. The rest of the airframe is stored outside the storage shed.
A few more:
Ok here are the attachments… 🙂
Here are few more pictures taken of the boneyard at MW…
011 was pretty gutted..she had been fixed up with some kind electrical lighting system for some reason…a display perhaps..
Lot’s of parts were scattered in one area..I saw a couple of what looked like T-bird or Tutor hulks..actually they were sorta hard to recognize. I think I have one picture of one of them…and I don’t think I looked into the trailer…
Yes it was sitting on trolley near a set of good DH Buffalo wings…
Could it be 114011 or was it just painted to represent it?
And I guess many do end up as training aids for the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Technology and Engineering….
Hi Gerry,
I am not associated with any museum at this time..I am however an aviation enthusiasts who wishes to own a piece of Canadian Military History..It would be for static display only and it will be stored indoors…but it sounds like they might not be interested to selling to non museum buyers at this time…but I hope they don’t scrap those that don’t find homes with museums…
I wonder if London will get the traditional Low Visibility Grey colour scheme…..
Pretty much the colour scheme most were in when they were retired from Pilot training the 90’s…the Trenton Museum had their painted..silver and red…the polished silver wings would be a very nice touch but are way to hard to keep shiny in their climate
Here is a picture (not mine) of the scheme..
Actually I asked some of volunteers and they told me where and what was off limits..they were a pretty nice group
