Came across this a couple of days ago. I doubt if anyone can help, but someone might want to buy one before they are scrapped. I am guessing these are only being put out to grass because the insurance company insist.If they have only done 100 hours, then it’s a simple job of outbidding (or paying a mark-up to) the scrap man, or am I too much of a simpleton?
There were some AVT 1100s overhauled in a power station in Eire, probably about 10 years ago now. A couple of former AEC men went over to strip them down and rebuild them with new parts, where necessary, so there will be spare parts still available somewhere.
