RE: B747s at York?
Hmmm – would love to see it but somehow i don’t think it would end up working – the improvements that would be needed would be massive – if the Victor doesn’t go on the main dispersal somehow i don’t think the infrastructure is there yet – maybe one for the museum as a one off would happen – along those lines does anyone know if Duxfords Runway is capable since it was reduced in size?

Well the rumour included improvements to the field for the activities it would undertake….PAPIs, Hangers (perhaps) etc…
The main apron is big enough for Jumbos…the ones currently stored around the UK are mainly outdoors anyway. (Manchester and BA’s 747 classics for example.)
They would need 24hour fire and rescue as well.
Apparently the CAA have already been up for a look.
well….only time will tell.
