Cloud cuckoo land. What’s spent elsewhere is totally irrelevant and the government does not give simple repayment loans.

Given that the large airframes will almost certainly have to be scrapped, what I don’t understand is why Cornwall Aviation Heritage needs to pay for it.

There must be at a very rough guess 80 tons or so of scrap between the VC-10 and the 1-11. Surely the scrappers should be paying them?
