I’m with Pete Truman – much as I like Concorde (and the fact that we Brits, with a little help from the French :diablo:, managed to ‘outdo’ the mighty US aircraft industry) I am at a loss that so many have been preserved and, in the UK, have not sought to keep a 707.

The chopping up of most of the Cosford Collection was an utter disgrace, unfortunately (as people keep pointing out to me) British Airways is a business and not a charity. The simple fact is that Willie Walsh couldn’t care less about aircraft that aren’t actively making money for the airline.

It’s a shame about the 707, I would have loved to have seen it remain intact, same goes for the VC-10, such a distinctive shape. Something that’s hard to discern from the remaining nose section…
