People weren't saying that about Cosford last week................ :shock:
Possibly because Cosford's purpose is to preserve old time classics, but these aircraft have just run out of their useful lives.
To scrap these aircraft is a shame, but there are still a few examples of ones in operation. Cosford got rid of aircraft that no longer exist and are no longer operational. Apart from the VC10, but as we know that is only now military.
Onwards and Upwards!!!!!!!!
Jetty!
If God had of meant us to fly, he would have given us wings! He did, it's called an aeroplane!
It's a real shame to see these aircraft go, but it is very much worth it for the sake of keeping the others flying. 1 aircraft flying is better than 2 static ones in my view.
Yes Brooklands will be getting the nose and perhaps a few other bits as spares for their one or possibly as other display objects. A very small section of cockpit from the Trident is going to East Fortune.
