Unfortunately the aircraft covered by SALT have to be verifiable by satellite, meaning terminal cuts across the airframe. The aircraft are then left for a set amount of time (not sure how long) so the passing satellites can confirm that the airframe is no longer potentially operable. After that the scrappie comes in & finishes the job. Sad but true:(
I’d donate some to Newark Air Museum so they could get some more of those great types indoors (how much hanger do you get for a million these days?). Top up the QRA shed funds at Bruntigthorpe & lastly get Beverley XB259 out of the rain at the Museum Of Army Transport. Think i’d have any change for Thunder City? Purely for research purposes of course……. 😀
I was actually let out of Somerset for a couple of days this week, so I happened to be at Duxford today:), all I can say is I certainly wasn’t expecting that! Never realised the 747 could be so agile, is this standard flying procedure for SA airlines?! If so I know where i’m off on hols next year……….. 😎
I’d go along with the MIG 29, although it was also nice to see the A10 back on the circuit. Overall though the Utterlly Butterly display has to shade it…….:D 😀 😀
Definitely a mock up! Took the family there a couple of weeks ago. Nicely done though – looks the part through an inch thick window anyway! As for the aquarium, worth an hours look round if you’re in the area, but not a patch on the one at plymouth. Tourist Guide out.
sorry, hamfistedness strikes again ; yes there was a comic called Beezer – seem to remember it was incorporated into one of the others – possibly Beano – in the early 80’s. Does anyone recall a comic (or strip) by the name of Whizzer & Chips, or did I just make that up in my head?

It has to be Beano not Dandy – I always read the Bash Street Kids first. I remember Victor as well – later didn’t it merge with Valiant? – and those little WWII picture post books.
Also was there a Beezer?- larger size than Beano? Happy memories.
Moved onto American DC & Marvel later but they were really different.
