You might be confused with D2-FDZ which is a 707 and situated in the scrap compound in 2009. 😉

Could be, but the scrap airframes around the control tower have all gone now, the one I am thinking of is on the active ramp (though it does not look active!) There is another in the military area. Both could be 707s, will check.

Hi
the linked page attributes the lack of parts remaining to :-

‘A visit to these today sites reveals little, they have now been made difficult to locate due to trail motor cycling in the area. This has churned up the peaty mountainside, resulting in a minor landslide near the Lysander, taking away the sparse evidence of these tragic accidents.’

Not due to souviner hunters.

I read that, but last time I went up there, about 12 or so years ago, there was no sign of motor cycling activities … and no wreckage. Besides, motor cyclists are unlikely to have removed the engine from the Spitfire, which was there in living memory.

Why would someone place a model of a P-38 on the moon? it has to be real!

Can’t be the moon; no cheese 🙂 (and don’t forget the crackers Grommit!)

Thanks for the info 🙂

I would guess that it has broken up on hitting the water.

Damage quite possibly caused by trawling, ships anchors etc

d’oh … too slow 🙁

There are doubts if they own them, the Jags were paid for by the UK apparently after they defaulted on payment, so any buyer might find a sudden claim slapped on them.

Cannot imagine HMG being too troubled about having them back now …

For the Nigerians to be saying the Bulldogs are scrap has to say something, considering the other ones are being sort of hinted at being airworthy but haven’t flown since Possibly the 80’s.

I wonder if they have got that transposed and the Bulldogs are the only ones not for scrap – the C-130 certainly does not look to be ‘in good working order’ .. ?
