Any happening with the North Weald C-54’s? I am assuming that they are still at the airbase. It would be a shame to see them scrapped or ?

Imagine if they could be flown along side the Dutch Connie?

Two of the Mk. XVI Bristol Hercules look quite impressive now that they are hanging on the wings at their correct height. The level of details in the plumbing and wiring is quite amazing given that these engines will never be run again. Apparently is order to run the engines safely would require further tearing of the engine..mainly to see the crank..and it was not going to be cheap or easy… so they will remain quiet but impressive still!!

The rear end of the Halifax appears to be mostly complete now..The glider towing hook is still to be installed.

Yes I have to agree on the lack of updates on their website but it
certainly encourages one to visit their museum in person to see the quality of their work…

While the Halifax is still under restoration one really gets a close up view of all the crew positions in the aircraft. I never would have dreamed that I had a chance to access the cockpit of halifax. And once she is finished the aircraft’s interior will be pretty much for special guests only…so I would encourage those who can to visit the old girl soon…

Thanks for the info…

Quite detailed..

Does G-AWZK still have her engines in place. I read on their website that they were not planing on installing the engines once the aircraft was displayed at Manchester aeropark

Thanks I guess I should have checked my copy…probably all their C.O.A. expired by year end of 1985…I was just curious whether any of the last BA Tridents were given ferry permits to be flown to UK museum or other airports in the years after 1985…

Would the Trident G-AWZM cn 2314 preserved Science Museum Collection, Wroughton Airfield have been flown into the Airfield before the end of 1985.

The Coventry HS125 looks like she has gotten a repaint…

And the G-ARYC at Colney looks great..how is the interior?

It looks like a couple of 748’s might still be at Exeter ex CAA G-AVXJ was last seen there wfu minus a few parts….and G-BORM might be in the dump as Fire Trainer?

I just hope that one or two are kept for future aircraft fanatics to see… and that they don’t all end up as parts or fire trainers….

That Boeing 247 is a bit of a rare creature..one of only four left in the world I think…

Shame about the DC-3 paint scheme…but at least it is preserved!:)
