I read elsewhere that the Comet and Trident were scrapped several weeks ago. A preservation group tried to save the Trident nose and other parts but they were not allowed to use the cutting gear they had, so both aircraft were scrapped. 🙁

I expect you saw the thread on the Commercial forum with 25 C17s on the ramp at one base and one of the forum members starting his training on them (for the reserve?)

The Museum of Berkshire Aviation has/is restoring several Miles airframes to static condition. They might be able to help with info on parts lists and drawings. http://www.fly.to/MuseumofBerkshireAviation

A book to read on the subject of the Dutch people’s bravery and support at Arnhem is ‘I Was A Stranger’ by Brig. Sir John Hackett. He was hidden and nursed back from near death by a Dutch family. After more than 3 months he was fit enough to be passed down one of the resistance escape routes to freedom.

I understood that it had stood outside for years (China Lake?) and was restored to flying condition to cross the pond. When I saw it at Duxford first it looked OK but it again stood outside for some years until the AAM was built.
