New nacelles and intakes, jet pipes
Hi all
We have now successfully removed and brought back to the museum the Spey engine nacelles ,intakes and jet pipes that were on BAC1-11 ZE432 at Boscombe Down military airbase. This now gives us everything we need to complete the no1 and no3 engine nacelles.
I just want to say it was a fantastic team effort with 5 of us going down to remove them and with our remaining team members helping the unload at the museum the following day. Would like to thank Holiday inn for giving 2 of our team who drove down with the van and scaffolding theday previous a free night sleep and breckie and also HSS for letting us have the 2 x 3m towers with 70% off. And of course we would very much thank all the guys at QinetiQ who gave us the nacelles and helped us hugely on the day from sourcing 2 of the parts around the military base which wernt on the aircraft.
Such a successful day with no problems at all... and what a boost for G-ARPO
Cheers Tony

tail
When is the tail section going to be re-united Tony?
Our priority is we would like to get the fuselage inside and out done first so we can start receiving the public on board then we can start to address the tail and the wings which do require some corrosion works first and that is easier while they are off the aircraft.
The museum are also about to aquire some more land as they are expanding quite big in the next two years and it is very much down to them to where we will be finally located and have permission to put these items back on. We have lots of work to be doing before we can get to that stage , As you can see with only a few of us volunteers it takes quite a while to get through each stage doing it right.. We are always looking for more volunteers to help
But to answer it directly and honestly id say 2 years
cheers tony

Northeast Airlines?
I have to say I'd never heard of a British airline called Northeast. For half a minute, there, I thought you were referring to this American classic, 'Yellowbird', which became part of Delta in the early '70s, I believe.

simular
Yeah I think a few people get a bit confused with the American , North east
Had some great news for the Trident as we have had a very kind sponsorship from Thorne and Derrick who are going to supply the underground ducting so we can run the power cable from the mains to the aircraft safely underground . We would like to thank them very much for their kindness .
