Failsworth Fireflies

Posted by Cees Broere on Fri Nov 01, 2002 08:44:50 AM

Hi all,

During the eighties there were at least four forward fuselages in the famour Failsworth scrap yard in the UK.

One of these was obtained by a collector and as far as I know was restored and put on display at the Manchester Air & Space Museum. I also know that Griffon engines were bought by several American collectors for racing engines.

But what happened to the other forward fuselages. Were these scrapped or also saved for restoration?

Any ideas?
