NOSE/COCKPIT/OTHER SECTIONS

FGA.6 WV838 at Liverpool, March 2005; Roy Coates	FGA.6? WV910? at Boscombe Down, July 1st 2000; author

This Sea Hawk is WV838, which would make it an FGA.4 - one of only two remaining Mk.4s in fact... only thing is, new owner Roy has found documentation to say it was converted to an FGA.6! She only ever flew 212 hours and was initially attached to 812 squadron on HMS Eagle. After a take-off accident at Lossiemouth, she was considered beyond economical repair and sold for scrap. Languishing for many years in Flowers scrapyard in Chippenham, dismantled into sections, she was sold at an auction to Phoenix Aviation at Bruntingthorpe, who have used it for a few spares and scrapped the other parts of the airframe - what there was of it, which wasn't much! The nose, however, was saved and new owner Roy Coates is restoring her. Roy has a WV838 web site with info about his progress - looks like it's coming along very nicely indeed! Information current as of 04/2004.

This somewhat anonymous cockpit section is thought to be WV910, an FGA.6 but absolute proof is hard to come by. Anyway, it's in excellent condition externally apart from the windscreen which has been fractured by an impact with something. The interior is not as complete as it could be, but it's getting there.
