Thanks for the info. Good to hear she’s in safe hands!

Javelin’s a cracking beast. The example at Flixton could do with a lick of paint though. The Staverton machine looks good.

Does anyone recall a Javelin used as a gate guard on an industrial estate in the Worcester/Malvern area in the mid-1980s? As a nipper I clearly remember seeing one from the back of my parents car. Which was it, and what became of it?

On the Continent they’d chuck the food at the cook

Cook? Microwave operative, I believe is the politically correct term…:D

Yes, the MAM should be applauded for saving the aircraft up to the present, but do they have the facilities for longer term preservation? Thats where a national museum like Cosford should come into it.

Ther REALLY annoying bitch.

Ah, Snapper you mean Linda Barker. The one from the annoying “snip snip” Comet adverts. Talentless bint cashing in before her norks go south.

Looks excellent from that picture. Too often the smaller collections’ work is overlooked, while larger museums allow rare exhibits to fall into disrepair and end up getting scrapped (Vulcan B1 at Cosford anybody?)

I’ve seen the advert in the Daily Mail today – it is a “begging” letter quite frankly. The Lottery will not break their “no restoration to flight” rule for the simple reason of the negative publicity IF the unthinkable ever did happen.
