Answers to the “What ifs?”

– What will happen to them if (when )BA decide not to fund their care & maintenance?

BA withdrew support forthe “collection” about 3 years ago

– What will happen if Cosford want the space for new buildings?

It’s a big site, but unless they go inside a new building, they’ll be left to their fate.

What will happen if the airframes stay outside?

The B707 already has significant corrosion, which is extremely evident when you get up close. Personally (owning several airliner cockpits – under cover – and having seen the Blackpool Vulcan up close, I don’t think it will be long of this world unless something is done almost immediately, and that certainly doesn’t look likely in view of yesterdays press release.

What if RAFM has no funds to care for them?

The RAFM has no funds to care for them – telephone quote yesterday afternoon….

Airliner Cockpit for filming

Hi,

I have 2 x Lockheed Electra’s, 1 x F27 and (shared with G Spoors) a Boeing 707, which is complete and powers up.

All based near Pershore, Worcs.

email me on [email]jsmorgan@btconnect.com[/email] if you would like more details.

Cheers,

John

just strikes me as ironic.

It is!

I’ll post pics at the weekend – going to PIK tomorrow to help clear the site and pick up CKS cockpit on a large car trailer.

EI-CJE (Jaguar c/s) was finally scrapped this afternoon at PIK. However, we managed to preserve the cockpit and first 5 rows in the cabin – it’s going to be turned into a 737NG simulator “somewhere in London”, travelling down the M6/M42/M40 on Thursday 19th May. EI-CJS and EI-CKS cockpits also preserved, CJS moving to Castle Douglas and CKS to Pershore, Worcs.
