ZuluKilo Restoration Update - (2 big photos, dial-up beware)
Hi folks - thought you might like this update...
For those that visit the AVP at Manchester, you may have got the idea not a lot is happening with our Trident, "ZuluKilo" .... well nothing could be further from the truth with the interior undergoing a massive refurb!
Took a couple of shots tonight of the restored cockpit - it looks stunning and just as it did during her operations from LHR. Neil Lomax has done an amazing job, pretty much single-handed on this.
Once she is complete and open, you should find an amazingly well preserved piece of aviation history and few touches that will make this exhibit rather special... :;):
So here is a taster of what you can expect...
Next year will be a big year for us ... watch this space :;):

Wonderful. I often chat to Neil when my work allows me to visit the AVP. He (and all the team!) have done an incredible job with this project. I only long for her to be put back together for everyone to see how beautiful she is.
Thanks for posting these shots.

I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

Some more shots of the interior.
A wider shot of the entire cockpit
The interior has all new carpet throughout
All the over-seat lighting will be working shortly and all of the overhear warning signs are up and running.
The exhibition area is located in by the aft toilets
