RAF Marhams Victor XH673…

hi,

   just seen this from the Eastern Daily Press web page XH673 free to a good home… structural integrity requires urgent attention, and the MoD’s gate guard allowance does not cover what is needed to make her safe. So anybody “come and get it”…

regards,

Thanks for the link Stratofrieghter, interesting read! Obviously I hope that the whole airframe can be saved (but seems unlikely at the moment) however the tail would make a mighty fine display unit on its own as per article. Hope at least the cockpit could be saved as well if they go for the tail option.

Strat.. most likely it was  for being a duplicate thread.. best to keep the Marham talk in one post  rather than multiple posts about the same thing

…the thread I started seems to have been deleted. Cannot think of any reason why. ?

Anyway, here is that Eastern Daily Press news feature:
