RAF Panavia Tornado Aircraft Rolls Royce Jet Engine on eBay, also, Aircraft Parts, Aircraft Aviation, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 27-Oct-08 21:36:24 GMT) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RAF-Panavia-Tornado-Aircraft-Rolls-Royce-Jet-Engine_W0QQitemZ130258734241QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item13025873 4241&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A3%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)

I personally would have marketed this along the lines of a 'Build Your Own Tornado' magazine collection. Naturally, the first edition with engine would be £1.99. This would then ramp up to £2m from week 2. The kids would never see it coming!

Yeah, pity you need two!!

[effortless]

I may consider a P/X or swap for a Pegasus engine.


Boy means business, gonna build hisself one he can park more easily.:ok:

The seller shows a picture of an F3 in his ad as an example of the aircraft the engine was used in.

Wasn't the F3 powered by the Mk104 version?

[cornish-stormrider]

Yep, full points to the blanket stacker.

The 104 and the 103 had quite a few interchangable modules and the easiest way to tell them apart was the length of the M15.

Also working on the 104 installed was much easier and quicker - far fewer green boxes to hook up and pratt about with.

I always wanted to make an old M15 into a robot wars machine. Use the T/R buckets as primary weapon - vsssssshhhhttt clang.

then hit the reheat - HEE HEE HEE

Alas, chiefy said we couldn't spare the module. We had to make do with scrapheap challenge Fridays.

Wow, I always wanted a single Tornado engine :rolleyes:

The identification plate etched number looks changed!

Casings look like they have been filled with Isopon car body filler.

Good luck anyone firing that baby up.

I'm still massively shocked that they're even advertising it as a possible runner!!! :eek:

Look at the state of the bl00dy thing!

C-S,

All of the modules were interchangeable, but as you quite rightly say, the 104 had a 14" extension added to the M15 to improve the reheat's performance at medium altitude. The 101 differed from the 103/104 in brief terms, in that it had a different LP and HP comp from the modern versions, single crystal turbine blades, a non-aerobatic oil tank, and an extra Mag Plug, along with a reduced power output.

I still can't believe however that "Jet Art" are advertising an obviously damaged engine, with a hacked up bypass casing and patched up M01 as a possible ground runner!! :eek::eek:

Sounds like he would be much safer flying this (http://www.rafmuseumshop.com/epages/raf.storefront/48fa485a0042176027430a022f02054b/Products/View/CR-JFF000141-JF). :E

[Kiwiconehead]

Will it fit in my 2CV?

[Alber Ratman]

Why buy a scrap engine for 25 grand?

Art Afrons brought a J-79 once from a scrappy ($600) and built a 600 mph Jet Car. He finally trashed the engine at 610 mph (and the car as well)

Only slightly off topic but:

Some people already have......

The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust (http://www.a1steam.com/)

Cost about £3 million over 18 years. Currently on test and limited (!) to 90 mph. On the stocks at the moment are a new "Patriot" (The Unknown Warrior), a "Clan" (Hengist) plus some other goodies in the pipeline.

Back on topic.

I wouldn't buy it as it's incomplete. No buckets!!:rolleyes:
