If anyone lives nearby Bruntingthorpe and sees any work being done on the Tristars - once the site is opened up again when COVID-19 restrictions relax - I would really appreciate a heads up here or by PM ! Last photos I took were Aug 2018 https://live.staticflickr.com/1847/4...47a26f22_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/1847/4...37d6e58b_c.jpg |
Has any anti-det work been carried out on the Tristars?

They look simply beautiful.

Probably a question mark over the Victor and the Comet as well most likely, although it depends on who owns what. Anything owned by D.Walton is most likely the only stuff (and probably the Lightnings given the post above) that will be OK and moved to what ever area near the Q-shed that is on the property still owned by D.Walton.
It would appear everything else has been given notice to leave? I bet the group that bought the ex-Classic Flight NF.11 Meteor to maintain as a taxiable aircraft at Brunty along with the former G-GONE Venom are a bit peeved, as the Meatbox was only delivered on its final flight by Dan Griffith in January last year! They should have chosen to fly it to Kemble instead...! |

Facebook says "full power runs" in the caption for this photo https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...c4&oe=5F0D6BF1 |
A sad affair.
Re the 1011's. No way they will fly out. Years in storage outside in the UK climate. They are years to late to think they will fly again. |

Yes - GJD Services Ltd were paid to keep them in "airworthy storage" at least up to the point when they were bought by Tristar Air LLC in 2018 - that included full power engine runs. I'm not sure what happened after GJD moved to St Athan and whether they were retained to drive up to continue the work..

Does anyone know what might happen to the Guppy.

Can anyone on here please elucidate which particular weekend in August the Fast Jet Taxi event is/was pencilled in for?
I'd love to attend should it come to pass, but being up in Darkest Scotland makes spontaneity a bit tricky. I do hope that common sense prevails and a suitable accommodation can be made to save most if not all of the collection. Cheers Cooch |
No date yet as far as I can see

It was usually during the last weekend of August. But there’s no telling if this year will be the same.

Thanks for that gents.
Fingers crossed. Cooch |

Fingers crossed. Cooch but the text below is not publicly-accessible, yet. Put online this Sunday 12 July 2020. Cancellation of Cold War Jets open day August 2020. Following the acquisition of C.Walton Ltd and a lease of land at Bruntingthorpe by Cox Automotive UK Ltd. the August open day will not take place. This brings to an end many years of Cold War Jets Open days. This news will be a huge disappointment to aviation enthusiasts across the UK and worldwide. Every aircraft based at Bruntingthorpe has its own unique and distinguished history which has been preserved by teams of dedicated volunteers. Bruntingthorpe has been the focal point of UK jet aviation preservation for over 30 years. Many amazing aircraft have been saved, restored and maintained in fast taxi condition. |
Ouch!
Thanks anyway. I think..... :{ |
Looks like the plan is to move one VC10 to Kemble: https://www.gofundme.com/f/vc10-resc...=copy_link-tip

XN 582 Jet Provost arriving at Sleap from Bruntingthorpe 22 July, it is to be repainted and used for Taxi rides etc.

But a bit sad? She really was a beautiful sight parked outside Timmy's hangar at the end of your tour!
