Convair 440 airliner project

Retro Aviation sells ex Air Atlantique aircraft to Reynard nurseries. As part of the service, Retro dismantles, packs up and loads 81 foot long aircraft G-CONV for Reynard nurseries and delivers it to their premises in Carluke, Scotland. Complete load took three weeks to dismantle; there were three wagons, one was fuselage section (81 feet long) the other two were the wings (47 feet long each). "We were very pleased with the outcome and excited by the imagination of our customer" said Richard Parr. "We are looking forward to further supporting the creation of their luxury B & B."

Avro 19 G-AYWA

After detailed research by Retro Aviation, Retro Aviation are delighted to announce sale of Avro 19 G-AYWA (formerly OO-DFA) to the national military museum of Belgium in Brussels. The aircraft will be supplied with substantial quantities of new stock spares to aid its swift restoration to static condition. Particularly pleasing is the fact that this aircraft will be returning to its original home after many years having been built specifically for Belgian airlines in 1947.

flight simulator

Retro Aviation supplies and builds flight simulator for Aviation Optical and Medical Limited at Coventry airport. This involved completely dismantling the aircraft cockpit of a Cessna 310L and then modifying it and then rebuilding it inside a small consulting room (a tight squeeze!). Retro modified the cockpit to the customer's specifications particularly for assessing pilots' vision in varying light conditions.
