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. It was moved to the North East Aircraft Museum at Sunderland in Summer 2011 and will be restored.

Please Donate!

Please consider making a donation to this project. We have now moved the aircraft to Sunderland, but still have lots of money to raise if we are to restore it to its former glory and ensure the aircraft survives.

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: www.savethetrident.org/donate

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.
