    So what is going on with the plans i see the Meteor is still at Coventry ??

    Has it gone dead ??

    Before i forget what is going on with Dc-3’s G-AMPY as this has now got G-ANAF’s rudder and G-ANAF is engineless and rudderless ?? And what about G-AMRA ??

    I remember the days of all the Daks lined up

    G-AMCA,G-AMHJ,G-AMPO,G-AMPY,G-AMPZ,G-AMRA,G-AMSV,G-AMYJ,G-ANAF and then G-APML stored of which is now chopped i still havent seen any pics of her as a restraunt.

    Then later on the Electras

    Why is it this country becomes good on classics then it ends up going black when there is a good collection of aircraft ???

    Have they got the money.

    The Nimrod will cost to move and then if they want to move the rest of the fleet its going to cost.

    You got the two DC-6’s the Daks G-AMPY,G-AMRA

    Why can they not stay at Coventry they all have hangers for the work.

    Whilst the museum is there they could pull one of the Electras over and save it.

    Please stay at Coventry then we can save everything that is there and it wont get chopped.

    Sorry folks iam up for the news but Coventry is the safe future for everything.

    My dream would be for a base to have the following;-

    Avro Andover (This would be one of the last Boscombe Downs)
    Avro Shackleton
    Bac 1-11 (Boscombe Downs example)
    Boeing 747 (Bruntingthorpe)
    Buccaneer
    De Havilland Comet
    DH Dove
    DH Dragon Rapide
    DH Vampire
    DH Venom
    Douglas DC-3
    Douglas DC-4 (North Weald)
    Douglas DC-6
    English Electric Lightning
    English Electric Canberra
    Gloster Meteor
    Hawker Hunter
    Hawker Nimrod
    HP Victor
    Lockheed Electra
    Mcdonnell Douglas Phantom
    Panavia Tornado
    Super Guppy
    Vc-10
    Vickers Viscount

    Its time the UK thinks of putting a active museum Airfield with aircraft they can run and taxi.
