Is it Euro 6 compliant though ?

 

[Sheddy]

That would be a blast!

 

[Enword]

You could reheat your Big Mach with that

 

[nicholsong]

LEZ compliant?

Would hammer the payload at 3.5 tons

Would hammer the payload at 3.5 tons

Not if you fitted wings to the side of the van!

Really?
Taken out of service because of the very high maintenance costs of 1960's technology in the 2000's and they simply could not make money out of it with so few passengers on board.

I think that £748,000 for an hours expired engine is a little bit optimistic by the seller. I know where there are a couple of expired Speys (with afterburner units) that could be had for much, much less than that

 

[Steve and Denise]

I would like a small auxiliary power unit for a project but it must be compleat as individual parts are expensive and difficult to find.

 

[Kannon Fodda]

How long will it take to recharge a leisure battery?

I worked on the test rig at The National Gas Turbine Establishment at Pyestock near Farnborough.

If it can be run on reheat it'd make BBQ sausages as black on the inside as the outside!

After you run that up a few times on site no one would ever complain about the noise of your generator.

 

[TheBig1]

may be useful as a replacement blown air heater. will keep your van so toastie and warm that it will glow

 

[SuperMike]

What in God’s green earth is that doing on eBay.

 

[Pausim]

Go easy on the afterburner, it can damage the decals.

 

[Just smiffy]

I could use it as a black waste macerator .....

Sent a shiver just looking at it. It flew over my home every night for some years and still miss the spectacle of seeing and hearing the unique sound of those engines. Spent many happy times watching those afterburners on take-of from Heathrow never to be repeated.

Nothing to do with the Paris crash in 2000 then? The airline industry was in a downturn after 911. I don't see it written that the USA demanded its withdrawal from service. It did have a bad press as regards to noise and economy both sides of the pond.

WIKI.....The type was retired in 2003, three years after the crash of Air France Flight 4590, in which all passengers and crew were killed. The general downturn in the commercial aviation industry after the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the end of maintenance support for Concorde by Airbus (the successor company of both Aérospatiale and BAC) also contributed.[15]

We were often sailing across the Channel just as Concorde was slowing down in the Western Approaches. As it went sub-sonic the BANG BANG made me think we'd been torpedoed!

I don’t think the Americans ordered anything, they didn’t like it because it was better than anything they could build, so they told everybody it was a “bad thing”.

Sour grapes anyone?

 

[Chris]

Would it qualify for my crit air certificate for visits to my beloved France?

And it didn't help the French one bursting into flames on takeoff.

If the Americans wanted it out of service they wouldn't have waited two full years after 9/11

 

[Theonlysue]

The french accudent was caused by debris on the runway hitting the plane.
Could have happened to any plane.
The 9/11 caused the yanks to quit flying.
Air canada folded, as may have other airlines.

 

[Clive and Kerri]

9/11 was the real problem. BA lost a lot of their regular Concord customers when the towers went down.
