I have a friend who is looking to buy HS121 Trident 2e for the purpose of display at his city aviation museum.

Anybody has any lead to purchase of this aircraft.

Thanks in advance.

Save The Trident » Preservation of Trident 1C G-ARPO (http://www.savethetrident.org/)

Contact these people in Sunderland, they are robbing bits of G-APFV in Belfast.

DaveReidUK,

David, your link fails to show anything, but, the caption refers to the derelict aircraft at Nicosia in Cyprus.

I think you will find that that aircraft is a Trident 1E which was a casualty on the "troubles" & has several bullet holes in it.

Perhaps not a 2E, but it's not like there are many Trident's around at all these days and if patched up sympathetically the majority of visitors wouldn't know or perhaps even care for the difference. Aren't there several Tridents of differing vintages at various UK regional airports on or near their fire dumps ?

Bullet holes notwithstanding, it's a Trident 2E as I stated, not a 1E.
