On that subject, if anyone wants the radome from XH980, free but I’m not posting it, let me know. All I’ll say is that it was a good idea at the time.

What happened to the Javelin that used to be on the gate?
Scrapped by Hanningfield Metals.
A museum, don’t know which, was asking the yard for parts but kept messing Steve, the owner, around, not meeting deadlines etc. HM waited as long as they could then cut it into very big lumps and took it back to the yard. The same or another museum tried again, then messed them around again so it was cut into very small lumps and melted.
Exactly the same happened to XH980 from West Raynham.

Huge amount of room at Stafford, more than enough real estate for everyone 😉
the spokesperson mentioned the army unit were having 364 ( I think) houses built for married quarters, and also barracks for the singles…

The ‘brown jobs’ have been in Stafford for some time, currently Ghurkhas and Engineers, and it is in fact MOD Stafford these days, reflecting that fact, though the Harrier still remains on the main gate, despite a threat to remove it when the RAF gave up their sole tenancy. The RAF Museum store is on one of the separate dispersed sites.
