Paintings of Trident G-ARPO

Nov 19th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Other News

Michel Schou is a fantastic aviation artist who creates wonderful paintings of classic aircraft and airlines from days gone by, as well as some modern ones. He has been very kind to our project and is creating a set of paintings of Trident G-ARPO in scenes from its past. These paintings will be used to create prints to raise money for the project.

The first painting, shown here, is of G-ARPO in the original BEA ‘red square’ livery, seen at Copenhagen after a flight from London Heathrow.

Be sure to show your support and thanks to Michel by visiting his website at this link (also in our Blogroll, to the right).

This site represents the bid to save and preserve the last complete Hawker Siddeley HS.121 Trident 1C anywhere in the world. This is G-ARPO, based in the north east of England. We hope to move it to a museum later in 2010.

Please Donate!

Saving this aircraft is only going to be possible through donations to the project. Our biggest costs will be to cover the dismantling, transportation, and reassembly of the aircraft.

All money goes towards the aircraft, and no team member takes anything from it. If you donate, you will have your name on the Roll of Honour onboard the restored aircraft.

If you are able to give anything, please click the above link to donate through PayPal, or click here to read more.

Thanks

Special thanks go out to Stuart Davies and Steven Metcalf at Serco's IFTC for their commitment and support for this project, and for allowing us to take the aircraft. Thanks also to Peter Foster, former Senior Duty Manager at Durham Tees Valley, who has a vast experience in aviation and was the last man to marshall G-ARPO.
