F4 Phantom AP's & Help Wanted!
 
All, this is a simple request and not a rumour, I've been asked by my friends at Bruntingthorpe if I know of anyone who may have access to F4 Phantom AP's and experienced engineers who may be able to help remove the wing from the fuselage ready for transportation from Boscombe Down to Bruntingthorpe to be re-assembled for use as part of the Cold War Jets and to be displayed as such.

My contacts UK side are not much help so far so I thought if I asked this community you may be able to help, please this is quite urgent as we want to secure this aircraft for future displays for all to see.

Any help or directions would be most appreciated!

A polite request to these guys may come up with something.

perhaps a polite call to the Luftwaffe and an offer of donation to a suitable German charity would get an offer of help?

Try contacting a few of the old Phantom Sqn associations in the UK.

Is the ultimate goal for this Phantom to run? If so, I have a big folder AP on the propulsion systems of the Phantom Spey?

[QUOTE][Ermmm not cool, remember it might be an Aircraft, but you seem to miss the point there was a Crew in it, and as of yet no one has said if they are alive or sadly not]

Nutloose are you missing something? An F4 going down off Syria has nothing to do with my post suggest you read it again please!

No, the site has gone bonkers again, it was posted in the other thread. have whipped it off..:ugh:

After the loss of this airframe, I seriously doubt you have any friends left at Bruntingthorpe, whoever they were, I'm sure you would have been requested to keep Brunty's name out of any Negotiations/research?

From reading the other thread Everett has bought them, shame the Boscombe one as a test aircraft never went to Cosford to join the rest of the test aircraft.
