F5 Airframe

[Pan Pan Splash]

Chaps, I'm on the lookout for an old F5 airframe, preferably one which is no longer in service, anyone got any ideas??

I'm in the UK by the way, so if possible I'm trying to source on here, incidentally I plan to cut the main fuselage up for research purposes.:ok:

Thanks in advance

As your location isn't given have you got any preference for a location? ie in the UK in the USA or else where for that matter.

This link will take you to lots of photos of them from all over the world and might provide you with a list of operators that might now have some surplus. There are some Greek ones that are disused but it was back in 98. Might still be there.

Thanks fellas.

I believe there may be a T-38 frame dumped at Chalgrove. Give Martin Baker a call if interested.

Have to ask the question.

What sort of research involves cutting up an F5?

Why not another aircraft type?

He obviously works for BAe and is working on the upgrade for the Typhoon.

[Gainesy]

Nah, he's making one of these:suspect:

"He obviously works for BAe and is working on the upgrade for the Typhoon."

Do you mean the upgrade that hangs all sorts of mud moving weaponry on it to turn it into something useful like a Jaguar?

[Pan Pan Splash]

Nope all wrong.. I need to chop one up to determine available space in the airframe for a particular item.

[Boldface]

Space for one of these per chance?

What are we talking - chubby stick monkey, or his golf bag?

Sounds like another "Top Gear" attack! :}

[dakkg651]

Come on PPS don't be coy. Do give us a clue what this mysterious item may be. Otherwise speculation will run riot.

[oli,_the_original]

Perhaps he's trying to fit a fan so it'll be like the F-35, and offer it as a low-cost export option:}

[DesertStormRat]

Suggestion: Airframe even used expensive.

Solution: Blue print of scaled plans and then just sit get measurements!

It's no good PPS.

You'll never get your 4x4 into one.

[Pan Pan Splash]

Albert.. closer than you imagine my witty chum.. The item is of course a fuel tank!!!




Oh and there are very good reasons which I cannot divulge for not copying an existing tank.

Cut down FSTA ?

[Doctor Cruces]

PPS,

I think, without even looking, that all the space behind the bit where the driver sits is probably packed full of intake trunking and two engines, mot to mention ancilliary stuff and possibly black majic boxes of one sort or another. If there was anyplace at all to put a fuel tank in there I think Northrop would have discovered it a long, long time ago and actually put one in there.

Pull the other one. :)
