Good luck to the Millom group with JD.
Why is the 748 less popular with museums than the Herald?
I find the scrapping of N748D particularly disappointing. Apart from my association with it in the 1960’s, this aircraft has been hangared all its life, has very low flying time & was still airworthy at Christmas! What’s more the interior is 60’s original complete with curtains. Surely a gift to anyone wanting to preserve one of Britain’s most successful commercial aircraft.:confused:
