They are both capable of flight but will never get airworthiness certification (not in the UK anyway). Apparently jets have to have a dual (backup) surfaces system which is not possible for these aircraft.backrow wrote:Torq, will they get that lightening back to flying condition ?

I don't know. It's what the guys at Bruntignthp' told me. Wouldn't the 15 have been mechanical controls? The Lightning is single, hydraulics operating at 3000psi through some sections. Maybe that's the difference. I'll ask when I'm up there next.backrow wrote:Eh ?Torquemada 1420 wrote:They are both capable of flight but will never get airworthiness certification (not in the UK anyway).

So how does say a mig15 get an airworthiness cert ? Saw one at the airfield show where I was working aged 19, white Waltham , could only do 60 secs of display as it would run out of fuel !

Maybe it'll open some doors to help with them, but for the moment I'm just doing some archival work with old photographs.badmannotinjapan wrote:My oldman restores old aircraft here in Christchurch.

I'll get you a list of what they have/are restoring. They've done to my knowledge a Skyhawk, Spitfire, Harvaad, Hellcat, I think a Kittyhawk.Nieghorn wrote:Maybe it'll open some doors to help with them, but for the moment I'm just doing some archival work with old photographs.badmannotinjapan wrote:My oldman restores old aircraft here in Christchurch.

If you come across anyone with a working Transit (or similar) they are happy to get rid off for a nominal cost or free, let TBAG know. Theirs is about dead on its feet. Doesn't need to be MOTable because use is only on private land.
