Flavells are based in Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees, just a few miles from Durham Tees Valley Airport. They have agreed to sponsor us the welding work required when putting our aircraft back together at the museum in Sunderland.

We couldn’t ask for a better partner in this. Flavells are a family business and have been experts in the welding field since 1958. They offer first class welding, fabrication and machining service to local industry and have expanded to become one of the region’s finest contractors in their field. They have great prices and work efficiently to deadlines, meeting ISO9002 requirements.

These will be used underneath the wings to support the airframe as parts are removed.

TNT have a major depot in one of the hangars at Durham Tees Valley Airport, so it’s great to have a local team helping us out. They also have an office in Darlington and many more around the country. They’re experts at parcel delivery and logistics, with an air and road network.

This kind offer has been made jointly between the Darlington and Durham Tees Valley branches of TNT will deliver the pallets to the fire ground when we need them, and remove them when we’re finished. Thanks to them for making life so simple! Visit their website at http://www.tnt.com

Currently based at Durham Tees Valley Airport as part of Serco’s International Fire Training Centre, we plan to move this aircraft to a museum site in September/October 2010 and restore her as a Trident exhibit indoors from the elements and with many interior fittings back in place.

To do this, we need a lot of planning and fundraising to take place. This website is just the start, but it will become the central point of information on the project. For fans of the aircraft, the site will feature many pictures and plenty of information and trivia. You will also be able to donate to the fund.

Please keep an eye on this website for more details.G-ARPO in her heyday
