Happy Christmas from Save The Trident

Dec 23rd, 2009 | By admin | Category: Project News

We just wanted to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The support we’ve had so far for our project to save and restore Trident G-ARPO has been incredible, so a massive thank you for all the offers of support and help.

In 2010 we will hopefully see some major milestones in the projet, including visiting the Trident at Belfast to source many parts, some major fundraising, and the long-awaited cutting and moving of G-ARPO from Durham Tees Valley to Sunderland.

The donation account has taken a little longer than anticipated to set up, but we hope to have it available soon. Stay tuned for details of that.

Thank you all!

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, the 16th Trident built and the last 1C to fly. It is based in the north east of England. We will be moving it to the North East Aircraft Museum at Sunderland 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.

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.
