Congratulations! Its nice to see a Trident being put back together for once

I know from experience what is involved in taking apart rebuilding and restoring an aircraft it's much more than many people think, our whirlwind was about 3 months work so I can only imagine what a Trident involves!

Thanks guys! Its taken about 3 years - almost to the day - since we started fundraising for this. The dismantling happened about 9 months later and the move about a year after that. Its been at the AVP for a little over a year so its been a long haul but we're almost there now!

Thanks to all those who have donated and we look forward to welcoming you aboard when it opens to the public later this year.

Coincidentally.... does anyone know what today is the 45th anniversary of

?
