Aviation - Restoring Janet - A Post World War II Aircraft
New Richmond, Wisconsin
Aviation enthusiast, Shannan Hendricks, is restoring a one-of-a-kind and world-renowned Fairey Gannet T5 airplane to flight-ready status. The unique post-World War II aircraft, affectionately called “Janet” by Hendricks and her team, was built in 1954 as a three-crew, anti-submarine airplane for Great Britain’s Royal Navy.
A certified Hyster® lift truck dealer, Arnold Machinery Company donated a Hyster® H80FT lift truck, with an 8,000 lb. lift capacity, to safely move the aircraft’s heavy parts.
What Our Customers Are Saying
“The Hyster® lift truck has made all the difference when it comes to delicate part removal. It is a very valued and integral part of our daily restoration efforts. We feel 100 percent confident in its lifting capabilities and up-time.”
