Who needs a Garden Gnome

Maybe one for Neil,save him stuffing all those Tenners under the mattress!

You are clearly implying that I have a very small mattres Gary .

And the neighbours would just LOVE one of those down our street!

They be at Bentwaters if I'm not mistaken

£7,500 for a static Jag isn't bad... If I had the money, I'd be tempted. Sadly, I've not, so I'm not

Not bad at all really considering, however, what do they do with all the stripped parts?
Surely they're not reusable on other a/c types.

I cry for the Jag.

How about sell em to the Omani's as new?

yeah then when the Israelis attack they got an excuse why they lost again!

Just out of interest, what is happening to all the RAF Jags. Are they all being scrapped or have some been saved for museums this time, unlike the Phantoms?

All the last service jags from 6 Sqn were flown into Cosford along with spares to become ground trainers for new techies also parts were stripped by me and a few others at cosford to be fitted onto other airframes in the Airforce, the Gr3a is a totally different beast to the 1's its Avionics suite is by no means least an impressive bit of kit, I've worked on for 5 years and for its age the Avionics is damn good and at least got a +90% serviceability rate, and as its the most modern bit of demobed kit it makes perfect sense to train new techies on them.

I'll get my then LoL

I meant the spares and not the airframes

If I bought it and put the tail, wings and tailplanes back on, could I enter it for the group build?

hahahaha

You would still loose... not enough weathering dear boy.
