Rolls Royce Avon Mk1 Jet engine
Removed from English Electric Canberra Aircraft serial: WK128
Lovely clean early spec Avon jet engine with aircraft history and know hrs.
This engine has the MOD F731 paperwork showing removed from aircraft serial WK128 at Llanbedr in 1996. WK128 started life as a B2 and was then converted to a TT18 flying in Royal Aircraft establishment Raspberry Ripple colours of red white and blue.
The engine has been blanked, bagged and desiccant packed. The engine sits in the correct transit stand.
This is a rare opportunity as you just don’t find Avons like this anymore.
As it stands this would make a fantastic museum exhibit or entrance Foyer display piece.
OR potential re-use with the appropriate inspection, test, overhaul.
