We purchased the Jetstream J41 in March 2023
A plan was put in place to get the cockpit relocated to a dry storage area where the team can access her safely to begin working on the mammoth project of turning the cockpit into a fully functioning cockpit simulator. The journey from the North to the South of England took place in April 2023.
Pictures of the journey can be seen below.
In May of 2023 a team of volunteers gathered at the cockpit and began to clean up the inside and outside to see what state things were in.
We knew some sections had been cut away, but they weren’t far from the cockpit and we were able to secure those too. There is a lot to do and so many pictures were taken to allow the team to discuss section by section the plans to restore her.
Pictures of whats inside can be seen below.
Over the next few months the team began working on getting the sections back together and cleaning up the inside.
The team are well fueled with Tea, Coffee and Biscuits. If you fancy getting involved with hands on restoration with please get in touch with us. We love new people joining us and sharing the same goal and sense of achievement on these projects. info@civilaviationtrust.o
