Hi Guys,

We need to find a Jetstream fuselage for a film project, any condition considered. All we really need is the fuselage itself so if its missing wings and tail that'll save the cutting! A stripped out interior is also perfectly OK..

£100 donation to RAFBF if any lead results in a purchase!

Thanks for your help!

There have been a couple gradually growing mould parked up at Nelson for several years now but I guess they are too far away for your use .

Simon,

Tall order, most Jetstreams haven't gravitated to tax payers yet. However Everett Aero have XX500 ( www.everettaero.com ) and Aeroventure at Doncaster have XX477 which could be more suitable...
.

XX500 was noted roadrunning a couple of weeks ago, but no new home yet found for it, Everretts also have taken some of the ex 750Sqn examples from Culdrose recently as well.

Yes we have, but it MUST be preserved by an accredited museum and not cut. Part of our purchase agreement. (Plus we don't know if we are getting rid of it this year or not - other priorities have reared their ugly head)

I would guess that Northbrook also need their aircraft as part of their EASA part 147 status.... just as we do.... (Unless someone is willing to donate two matching Citation Mustangs)

Having looked at the pictures this one now in Leeds looks ideal. Does anyone have any way of contacting the owner?

Thanks!

Millom Jetstream(s)

Yes, Mike, that's the second one, which was saved.

The fuselage of G-PLAH was scrapped though.

G-PLAH

Yes G-PLAH fuse was scrapped. All that remains of her is the nose/cockpit section given to NP and the tail/elevator section is located at Spark Bridge still in the posession of 'Lakes Lightnings', the owners.

G-PLAH along with a 748 nose (old Bob) and RN Whilwind had to be removed from the Millom site quickly by order of the Liquidator and were bought by a scrap dealer in the end.
