C-GDUN serial # 1581 was manu in 1966…
One of the First Air HS748 Spares Aircraft was reduced to scrap this year. They are slowing replacing their fleet with the ATR. Too bad they don’t save one for the Canada Aviation Musuem in Ottawa… It didn’t look like much except for the engines and controls were saved for the spares..
Very nice pictures..looks like a fair amount of hangar space also..maybe abit of room left for a few more treasures…
Where any of the aircraft ground run when they were parked on the other side of the airport?(original site)
I had a chance to Visit the collection just after they opened at the new location and I explained that I had traveled across the pond to visit the collection. I was then given a guided tour of all the collection and access to many of the cockpits…fine group of volunteers…thumbs up….
Any one seen the Viscount Cockpit yet that they acquired last year?
York?
It is an unique look?
Anyone know how many of the Yorks? were build and when the last one was flown?
I think the Air Scouts used to have this Comet at Lasham
G-APDK which was broken up in Sept of 1980
A picture of the York in 1978 prior to moving to Duxford…
And EP-SHV also build in 1976….both photographs taken in 2003 & 2004…
Saha AL
Looks like Saha Airlines still have a couple of current B707 pax carriers…a few pictures borrowed from Airliner.net..
EP-SHE build in 1976.
Wow two running Bucc’s at Brunty now..great to hear
When was the last time this Bucc Flew?
Nice Pictures Kev..I have managed a couple of visits to MAM over the past years and I have always enjoyed my visit..
The Vulcan seems to be coming along nicely..is the tail painted now also?
Thanks for the info guys…
How often do they run the engines on YAM and Brunty Victors?
Every 28days perhaps?
mjr thanks for the details..what’s the chances of the Gannet XL472 running again?
Ant,
I spotted that same picture a few weeks back also..she looks great in those colours too! It would make a nice static display at the museum.
