how about something different?

EVERETT AERO - Aircraft

Wet Dream. Harrier, Phantom, or the Mighty Jag Lol
A few years ago I ran a "British Jet Engine" website. I got an email from Everett offering to sell me a Pegasus engine. I emailed back stating that although some enthusiasts do construct frames to run small APU sized engines in their back garden, I had served on Harrier, had the pleasure of carrying out tie-down runs so I knew it wasn't something you could run up in your back garden. No problem they replied, we can sell you the airframe too

On the subject of my website (www britjet.co.uk but no longer owned by me) I used to get requests for spares from all over the world, including one from the Jordanian Air Force. I even got asked by one African airline if I could run a boroscope course for the RB211 engine. All these requests I referred to Rolls-Royce but I never got any commission out of it
