This aircraft was donated by Aerospace Logistics of Gatwick as a wreck and has completed 3 years of restoration. A new Rolls-Royce Nimbus engine is being fitted this year and we hope to have her spinning early in 2002..
XT788, badged 316 by us, was built in 1962 and was based on the Tribal class frigate "Zulu". Her primary role was the protection of the Frigate and she was armed with either two Type 44 torpedoes, a nuclear depth charge or AS12 missiles. |
