Hi again all another update....

I have begun restoring the radio panel's removed from PO last Saturday, i made a start on the worse of the two and have now nearly completed the P1 panel,to complete this panel i needed to brake psi guage and luckily after years of hauding Trident stuff i managed to find the instrument i needed.Image below shows the restored panel and the un started one.

You need an account. Anyone want to poach them for iconic?

Gaz,it's free to join....we set up CBA forum for my project saving Trident 3B G-AWZK.It's Just quicker for me to post images in one place rather than several.

Hi All, The Team are back up at Teeside this Friday with the aim to get the flaps lowered on the inside of the wings as these will need to be removed for moving. We will also vent the wing tanks as well as Neil will do more in the cockpit,
We still require monies to move the cosford steps and paint for them so we can use them to board the aircraft, so if you can donate towards them we will be very grateful. Keep you posted on fridays day ....tony
