Restorations
We Know What It Takes
We have gained extensive experience in restoring a variety of ex-military aircraft to flying condition whilst building trusted realationships with their owners.
​
Whether the aircraft is a type which has flown before in British skies or has never been seen in the air since retirement, we believe that no project is without merit and beyond possibility.
​
Our engineers have built their knowledge of tackling large projects through experience and we believe we can produce a freshly restored aircraft to as high a standard as you will find anywhere in the world.​

Previous Aircraft Restoration Projects
Westland Lynx AH.7 XZ179 (G-NCKS)
One of our marquee projects, XZ179 spent several years on the ground after leaving military service.
When she came to us she was in need of an extensive rebuild. After two and a half years of work, including removal and replacement of all major components, '179 returned to the skies in December 2021 becoming only the second Lynx Mk.7 to fly in civil hands.
Westland Wasp HAS.1 No.92 (G-BYCX)
As a veteran of the South African Navy, G-BYCX is unique among airworthy Wasps in wearing her original South African markings. After having spent many years in storage, No.92 received a major overhaul and returned to flight in September of 2017. Since then she has become even more unique after becoming the only airworthy Wasp to have her flotation gear fitted, which required extensive discussions with the CAA to be approved.
