Not really relevant as it's a different airframe but I, along with many others, wonder about the long-time survival prospects of XB259 at Fort Paull.
I understand the reasons for wanting it there, close to where it was built, but it's also close to a saltwater estuary.
I believe Elvington offered it a home at the time and I can't help thinking it would have had a better chance of a long life-span there.
