Is this a bit of a change for the MOD as they seem to have given the Boscombe Down collection quite a lot of artefacts and airframes?

Is Bruntingthorpe not an option?

Deadline passed, let’s hope for good news.

I was thinking more of airframe spares resulting from the parting out of the aircraft pre-scrapping.

at least BAE are talking about XM603, has anyone spoke to elvington? ( i do not know if elvington is one of those interested parties) no point in cutting her up – nose sections dont fly, i guess there are people who think small stactic displays in museums are better than flying exibits that the whole country can benefit from, hope this wont be the case. not everyone can travel to manchester and who would want to for a nose section kids end up climbing about in?

You’re surely not suggesting that ‘603 could fly?? Does everyone live nearer Elvington than Manchester? I never mentioned kids clambering over exhibits, I was suggesting preserving items rather than scrap the whole airframe. Who last moved a dis-assembled Vulcan over distance and re-assembled it?

Let’s stay realistic here….
