Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 ... Did the conversion you mention simply have a fuselage plug? Cheers and ditto sorry for the thread hijacking. Nige B Nige, Yes, the conversion only included a replacement fuselage. I think I got it 10 + years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Aer Lingus Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 The flight deck of EI-AOH still survives. In the 1970s, it was part of a small museum display in what was then the "New" terminal. Us plane spotters used to allowed access to the cockpit - provided we didn't break anything. I presume that this flight deck is in storage somewhere now. Hi Eric I do remember the old museum in what was then the new terminal amazingly according to Wrecks & Relics24 it has indeed survived but may be awkward to view. I firmly believe it should be with the rest of the stuff I worked on in Castlemoate house either with the legend Airman Michael Whelan in Baldonnel or NMI Collins Barracks even if it doesn't fit in with the soldiers and Chiefs exhibition a place could and should be found for it.

Team Aer Lingus Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 HI All Time for an update Apologies for the delay in restarting as those of you who know me I've been undergoing chemo lately thankfully all good at last so I've decided to continue with this WIP. If you will indulge me with a addition I picked up from Nick Webb (Classic-airlines ) fame @ LGW 2016 pics to follow I will be using Nicks conversion for the Glencoe kit to a 800 so this double will become a triple build in the coming weeks Any help advice tips gladly received & hijacks too !!! regards Eamonn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
