Hi there
I was in the Don last week and saw shipping crates for the Marchettis. Another era over. MW says one is being kept for the Museum.

I read in the "Flying In Ireland" magazine that the Marchettis are US-bound aswell"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"Comment

boxed and allmost gone. there was a circular to the effect that no AC help was to be provided to the company, even on their own time. the same wasn't said about the dauphins or gazelle?It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.Comment

Any Dauphins being kept at all? Are they to be canabalised or refitted by the purchaser?"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."Comment

All going....not viable comercially to be kept on. Might be one retained for a museum...but other than that....No More Dauphins in this neck of the woods.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

Hmmm nice idea....would make a certain amount of sense....so probaly wont happen.Perhaps the other 3 were traded to cover the cost of upgrading 1 a/c,many other forces do this.

All the dauphins have been grounded since about the end of last year, the very last just about making it into the beginning of this year. the airframes aren't worth much, but apparently one is already sold, it's the spares that were the big selling point.It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.Comment

I doubt if any Dauphin's will be retained for VIP work OR for museum display!IRISH AIR CORPS - Serving the Nation.Comment

i guarantee none will be retained for VIP work or the museum as the four remaining airframes were all put in forty foot containers and driven out the gate.Originally posted by Silver View PostIt's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have.Comment
