Is there any means of removing the compressor & turbine disks?

Come on people, the Avon 207s were on Hawker Hunters and maybe Canberas, sending him to a "certified aircraft engineer" hardly matters. There's only a few aircraft left using Avons.
I'd be looking for a ring of bolts round the casing or a line of bolts along an obvious seam top and bottom. But I have no clue how these engines really went together. From pictures it looks like the hot section cover separates from the front casing with a ring of bolts.
The disks aren't single pieces, you'll probably find they are locked in at the blade roots.
Don't use my methods if you ever expect this to run again.

I would agree with Chris H. There will be a line of wire locked bolts around the circumference of the compressor casing and another straight line on two sides along the entire length. Force these open and the outer casing opens into a top half and the bottom half . The Lower Half supports the shaft holding the compressor and turbine rotor disc. the top and bottom halves of the outer casing hold the stator discs, whose blades can also be removed. to get at the rotor discs you have to open the nose bullet and the central fairing beyond the turbine to open the entire rotor shaft for removal. Individual blades can be removed from the disc at the fir tree joint that locks the blade onto the disc.

Just dig in. After you take anything apart on it, it wont be airworthy again. There will probably be about 200 little 12pt nuts and bolts holding on each section. Get out the socket set and get going. Oh, keep track of how it comes apart, so you can figure out how to put it together. Why are you taking it apart, theres nothing you can fix in there. The blades are probably retained using some sort of fir tree design and are wedged in place somehow...

You don't. Only a certified repair station can, and only with the proper facilities, personnel, training and current technical data.

Two or three hundred pounds of TNT should do it.
