US-BASED FAIREY GANNET TO MAKE FIRST FLIGHT IN YEARS

Yeovilton-based charity Navy Wings have issued the following statement:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for 2-3 volunteers to help prepare a US-based Gannet for its first flight in several years. The aircraft is currently located in Woodville, Wisconsin, and the intent is to prepare it for a ‘one flight only’ move during August/September time to Spokane, Washington, where it will be subject to a full maintenance package. All going well, the intent in the near future is to re-patriate it to UK, where we hope to bring it under the care of Navy Wings. Successful candidates will ideally have direct experience of having worked with the Gannet, either as engineers or pilots. Help potentially available with travel and subsistence costs. Interested parties should contact Tim Manna at tim@kennetaviation.com
