Finding the last Trident aircraft





Although not strictly a guide to the airport layout, I hope this post will make you want to go the last visit Hawker Siddeley Trident abroad.
Many are at airports, so that makes things easier to combine with a sneer. But others are in museums - especially in the United Kingdom and China.
The Trident HS.121 was a short-medium range aircraft built at Hatfield in the United Kingdom in the 1960s and 70s. It flew mostly with British European Airways / British Airways, CAAC, although a number of other operators flying their small number. The last flight of its kind in the United Kingdom was in 1986, although some run on the fly in China until about 1990.
Today some are preserved, and save the Trident group working on keeping the last Trident 1C for example, currently coach of fire at Durham Tees Valley Airport to Teesside and will be moved to the Museum of the North East Aircraft Sunderland in the near future. This is the first - you can see, and his stable Trident 3B G-AWZS Durham Tees Valley Airport.
Down to Manchester Airport, there is the store Trident 3B G-AWZK Park Aviation Display. There is also a Trident 2E article on the airport site visible from the multi-car, used by fire crews. A section Trident 3B nose is exposed to the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester city center, too.
Down at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, a full Trident 2E G-AVFB is preserved and exposed.
At the Musée de Havilland, just north of London, a division of Trident 2E G-AVFH. And the FAST Museum at Farnborough, cockpit storage and working Trident 3B G-treatment plant is on the screen.
The store's Science Museum at Wroughton, Wiltshire, was another Trident 3B - G AWZM, but it is rarely open to the public unhappy.
More Northern Ireland, the fire crew at Belfast International Airport using Trident 2E G-AVFE. It can be found in the northwest corner of the airport, visible from aircraft.
At Carlisle, 1C G-ARPP cockpit in the Solway Aviation Museum, and only on the road to the Aviation Museum Dumfries & Galloway, most of the Trident 3B G-AWZJ is open to the public.
Finally, the United Kingdom, the cockpit ARPH G-1C at the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune, near Edinburgh.
Outside the United Kingdom, particularly in China, you can stay around 12 Tridents. The easiest is to visit three to Dathan Shan Museum near Beijing.
Elsewhere, there Tridents in Anshan Air Base, Tianjin, Nan Yuan (near Beijing), Sichuan Guanghan, Zhuhai City, and Guangzhoi (three examples).
Finally, an existence more Trident - 2E 5B-DAB in the old colors Cyprus Airways. It is left to the old Nicosia airport, which is beyond the limits of the exclusion zone of the United Nations. It is best to look but fly in the Ercan airport.
The rescue team Trident established an e-ledger in which the history of Trident and all locations of the remaining examples, maps and photographs. Buy a copy of the brochure put money in the store fund Arpo G, then it's worth it! Follow this link for a copy http://www.savethetrident.org/tridents-2010-booklet/
