Digidave - sorry
willbav8r - yes, the Intrepid is that bad. They've let several airframes lapse into quite an awful state and were recently trying to get rid of a French Etendard they'd been gifted because 'the French won't look after it for us' or some such guff. It also does not bode well for the future of G-BOAD that the Intrepid people claimed to have visited Duxford to get advice about preserving a Concorde... and said Duxford's Concorde had to put up with much worse climate conditions!! Oh yes, Cambridge is famous for its New York style winters and the river that runs directly underneath the superhangar must be very well hidden.
