Belfast Trident as a Parts Source
Dec 4th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Project NewsWe have had some great news today from the Belfast International Fire Service. In a corner of Belfast International Airport is the complete Trident 2E G-AVFE, which has been used by the service for non-destructive training.
The fire service has kindly allowed us to use this Trident as a parts source for our restoration of G-ARPO, and have invited us to visit in early 2010 to see what is available and what we’d like. We would then come back at a later date to strip the parts and take them to Sunderland ready to be put into our Trident.
G-AVFE is largely complete both internally and externally, although we are led to believe little remains of the cockpit instrumentation. We will, however, be able to take the rudder, seating, control columns, rear service doors, internal panels and anything else that would help.
We are very grateful for this offer from Belfast International Fire Service and look forward to a better final result in G-ARPO because of it.
Thats great news , are you planning a complete restore to a working version. There will no doubt be a complete shortage of aircraft parts for this baby
