Royal Navy Jetstreams

sprocky · Post by **sprocky** » 08 May 2008, 10:01

Besides the great military stuff from MAIW I am currently adding some spice to my A320-B737-dominated AI world. So I took a look at a.net searching for various prop aircrafts when I saw the Royal Navy Jetstreams. I then went over to avsim to see if there was something that has been created for AI already and found this:

http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Sea ... &Go=Search

Questions:

1. Does anyone have this package installed?
2. Are the herein mentioned regs still flying?
3. Are there some regs missing?

Thanks

Jan,

I'm a bit out of date but 750 Naval Air Squadron were still flying 9 Jetstreams in 2005.

As far as I can find out, they are still in operation with 750 NAS. Not able to verify any serials yet.

Just checked scramble

and all the serials in that package are still active with 750 Sqn at Culdrose.

I'm not at work this week, when I get back I'll find out. But as far as I'm aware all the ones at Culdrose are still operational, bu I can't remember which of the two versions they retired. We see them quite regualrly at Shawbury, they pop into our crewroom for a brew (I'm on the "RN" Sqn).

From all I have seen they T.2 is active - could not find any official note about the T.3 (although wikipedia states 6x T2 and 4x T3).

If you could verify the regs/versions - that would be nice!

Made a few phone calls. The T3s (all three of them) were all based at Yeovilton, but I can't tell if they're still there.

Thanks. So again wikipedia is slightly wrong

Now I'd have said the T.2, with it's radar nose. Unsightly thing.

yet too see a T2 so i cant yet voice an opinion!!

saw the T3s on a a day out at Yovielton

From what I've found out today ..

Yeovilton Heron Flight = 3 x T3

ZE438
ZE439
ZE441

Culdrose
750 NAS T2

ZA110
XX478
XX484
XX486
XX487
XX488

The only FW operating out of Yeovs are the 3 Jetstreams, 2 x Hawk on loan from FRADU for NFSF(FW) and the Grobs of the grading Sqn. All based southside.

Hope that helps,

Cary

If anyone is still interested, there are actually 4 x T3s on the books - ZE438-441 with three operating out of Yeovilton at any one time

There are still 9 x T2s at Culdrose used for Basic Observer Training with 750 NAS (XX476, 478, 481, 484, 486, 487, 488, ZA110, 111). These are due to be replaced by King Airs in ~2009.

There is one T2 hulk on the fire grounds at Predannack - XX479

Thanks biffodog. That'll teach me for trusting a Sea King QHI !

All of them, or just the Yeovilton frames?
