Saw the de-weeding around the Nimrod and Trident on TAS Manchester the other week, looked much better! Keep up the good work on all the aircraft :-)
Cheers noticed they were coming back through already, need some decent weedkiller !dirky dirk said:

Well that was disappointing - I saw 'Avro RJX - Manchester' and thought an RJX was a prototype Manchester...
Well, the Avro at Manchester is a prototype aircraft, an evolution of the BAE 146/Avro RJ. Three were built, one was cut up, one is a crew trainer (fuselage only) and this is the only intact one left, these were the last full airliners built in the UK, so is quite significant in its own right.
The 146/RJ is dwindling, but there are still quite a few flying, quite a few have ended up in the developing world making use of its design capabilities, namely landing on unmade runways, high wing and sturdy construction.
Shame nobody saved an Avro Manchester.
There is also a Trident, Nimrod, 1/5 of a DC10 there, and obviously the pointy thing in the hangar

Hi J4CKO, I've been going through my late mum's house and found a Dan Air BAe 146 Operations Manual that my old man must have kept. Would your guys be interested in having it?
Cheers for the PM Cobolman, didnt clock your post here.All go at the AVP, so cool stuff going on with the aircraft, finally all getting the attention they deserve, just been and slapped a coat of Hammerite on the steps of the RJX ready for its new graphics.
We are still at work looking after the planes at the viewing park.
We are after something along the lines of workshop/storage, open to suggestions but thinking containers and wondering if the PH massive can assist ?
We have a modest budget apparently, and approval to sort something out but if anyone knows where there are containers/portakabins or similar that aren't beyond redemption near Manchester airport we can buy then drop me a message.
