Summary
[edit]| Description |
The following information is taken from the BCWM website:- "Sepecat Jaguar XX741 was purchased by the museum on 16th August 2009, following a very generous donation by Bentwaters Aviation Society member Brian Smee. The aircraft is one of the best examples of the type in the UK. Following its rollout after Phase 1 of its restoration on 17th August 2013, XX741 is now entering Phase 2 which could ultimately see it return to ground running condition. With the electrical system already serviceable, No.1 and No.2 hydraulic systems have been rebuild. It is hoped that by the end of Summer 2015 we hope be able to demonstrate working undercarriage doors, airbrakes, spoilers, tail plane and rudder. Flaps and slats systems are almost restored, just missing one screw jack assembly. Two Adour 104 engines have been procured with a complete set of engine ancillaries, awaiting the opportunity and a completed airframe to install into.
