Scrapyard Photos; Any More?

I will have the serials and codes at home. Will check later. Aas far as I remember, there were T6s both at Etampes and LFA. Although we visited LFA later the same day I didn’t get up to the woods. This was in ’77.

Are these ex the woods at La Ferte Alais? I think we saw one coded RC in the trees back in 1975. But I may be wrong.

and 1 of Texans(?) in the preservation queue. At Etampes I think.

And some shots from Clayton Vale

Here’s another scrap aircraft from years back…

The BOAC VC-10 fin gives it away:D

…or even the Flying Legends Air Show, Duxford, July 2006.:)

Oh! I see now how I was tricked by your earlier post 🙁

I actually think i was at that show……

I’m pretty sure this is NOT a scrapyard.

97264 (c/n 9418) to storage at Litchfield Park, AZ Oct 1956. Purchased by Pacific Warbirds Museum, then to Eugene Akers and restored. In 1990 was under restoration as N5218V. Now in France as F-AZVJ

Might be a scene from a film.

Scrap Dealers.

If you want anything aviation wise from a scrap dealer, its either pay the earth or no sale. I think scrap dealers should be drowned at birth!!!!!

I have copies from the AP on the Barracuda and the UC legs are deffinately from a Barra.

I live near Frome,are you talking of Ransomes yard on Bunns Lane? years ago they had a Meteor wing in there.

scrapyard in frome

Are you talking about Ransomes scrapyard on Bunns lane on the outskirts of Frome?…If so, I`ll pop in tomorrow and give you an update

Some more from Williamsons circa 1993/4… the Shackleton from the front gate at Lossie, lots of blue crossed Buccs and a T7 Hunter…

🙁

And before you ask I was outside the fence… just… :p

If only the Buccaneer Society was in existance back then, we would have had a field day or a few weeks as the case may have been 🙁

I think they were there for quite a while. Plus the day I visited there were two dumped at Lossiemouth as well. Amongst the S2s there was also the grey/white nose of an S1 IIRC. All very sad.

What a surprise a photo from outside the fence. What a responsible person you are !!!:dev2:

Anyone remember this WD670 at Turnhouse in 1963?? To get to it you had to cross the rail line and a fence

Williamson’s yard in central Elgin around 1992 or so.

Cor, talk about ask and thal shall receive! Thanks Mark 12.
Its even more of a tragic story when you read that Armstrong Siddeley actually preserved Scimitar G-ADBL for 24 years at Bagington until a clear out in 1958, thats when it went to Coleys. What a waste of a real opportunity to save an interwar prototype.
