777 stored UK

Anyone know if there's a complete 777 stored anywhere in the UK? I'm working on a documentary that is seeking to shoot some footage on a real 777 flight deck. Trying to get near to one that is still flying is proving tricky.

Would a 777 flight simulator work? Probably easier to get access to.

None of which I know at present; I think your best hopes other than a simulator are Shannon ( OK, non-UK! ) which occasionally stores Transaero aircraft, or BA 777s cycling through St Athan for maintenance.

BA are at Cardiff, there's only 757 and 767 laid up at the moment.

Ok thanks guys. A sim would kind of work but we also looking to do a walk around outside and kick the tyres etc. All of this would be a lot easier at somewhere like Kemble as opposed to trying to film one at LHR that is on a turnaround.

Only other possibility ask Euro Atlantic Airways they have a 777. You will at least have to travel to Lisbon.

Too late, the one at Cambridge is now back at Gatwick.
