Just one from last weekend…

I’m going from memory, but believe that scrapping at Binbrook was the airframe’s official ‘fate’ and it was transferred to Kirtland AFB in Alberquerque, a ‘storage’ facility, although in New Mexico…
What I find intriguing is that XS894 was taken to the USA and stored for a very long time – its fate is currently unknown. Anyone the wiser?
Is that a B-52 near the Apollo 13 landing site?

The Operation Manna veterans press call was attended by the IWM photographer and, well, me. No other ‘media’ bothered.
Part of the problem is there is no heads-up on these press calls – I was only there Sunday and only just made the Bob Foster opportunity, but that was by chance. I assume the Manna one was Saturday only?
It’s a shame that they are not more widely presented to the public. As a paying punter, I’d have been hard pressed to know any were there unless I had a specific interest in the aviation art stands.
Howvever, there’s a balance to be struck between intruding on their personal space – after all, it’s a day out for them, but I do think there could be more of an opportunity to give advance notice of chances for interviews before the weekend – this would allow time to be put aside. I’ve tried in the past, but it has been difficult and time-consuming waiting for that window of opportunity. Sadly, in ten years time or so it will probably be too late.
Bump.

Oh yes – another day skipped off college… 😉

I’ve also just realised what The War Against Terror abbreviates to… 😮
It was propped under the nose a week or two ago – I think it is deliberate. :confused:
