Rolls Royce Avon Mk1 Jet Engine

The Canberra is a twin engine bomber aircraft conceived at the end of the 2nd world war. The aircraft proved very successful especially at altitude and provided over 50 years of service with the Royal Air Force

This is a 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.
