Trident Man, I am sorry to hear this as I was the Traffic Officer that oversaw ‘ZUs arrival at Stansted from Heathrow. And in fact I still have one of the safety cards that was still in one of the seat pockets from that day. Having left STN some 2 yrs ago now I was not aware that the end for ‘ZU was at hand, She was the aircraft used for my “jetty licence” training and test for same and she also served as a tug/towing trainer aircraft as well. Sad news!

I couldn’t agree more. Glasgow lost G-ARPP to the scrapman in May, the nose went to Dumfries Aviation Museum. Personally I’d have put the whole thing up in my back yard.

A lot of museums have taken nose sections only.
