Popped into Boreham this morning on my way back from STN, and i cant see that memorial anywhere in the accessable areas. I have to say thats the first time i have been to Boreham in a number of years, and with the EP Air Support unit there, security is very tight, certainly more so than when Fords used it to develop new and “secret” desined cars.

There is another access road round the other side of the airfield, where the Police Staff car park is, and a security gate, my guess is that its probably the other side of the gate, and within the complex somewhere.

Unless anyone else knows different of course :rolleyes:

Welcome Carvairmagic,

Not sure where that model went. Was it the same one that used to be in the BAF Reservations office next to the terminal, that one was a cutaway type in BAF livery, with model cars and PAX on board 😀

If not i guess it was disposed of with most of the other items when the museum closed.

Hi REF,

This is the only one i have seen at Boreham.

Is the rock one definatly Boreham?

Is that Faygate as in not too far from Gatwick?

I remember this disaster well, people we knew just two roads away lost their daughter-in-law in the tradgedy. At the time i lived just yards from the Southend Airport Eastern Boundry, as did the family concerned.

The twist in the tail is, within just a couple of months 40ft containers from the wreckage, all rusty and twisted were purchased by a company at SEN and stored on the Eastern Boundry, clearly visable from the main road. I dont know if the family ever knew where they come from. 🙁

Earls Colne

Earls Colne last mentioned nearly 2 years ago on this thread, has the memorial below which i noted as I popped in today. I have not been to Earls Colne for around 12 years, and everything was totally different, all the entrance roads and even hangers seemed to have changed. No trouble getting in though, everywhere seemed quite accessable, not that there was much worth looking at unless your a Cessna/Piper fan.

Does anyone know what the memorial prop is from?
