Cosford was thus lacking a VC10 for a period until 'Bob' arrived - via the M6 as you say.
And walking around that it doesn’t bode well for its future, panels off underneath, taxi lights on front fuselage full of water for want of resealing or at least a hole drilled in the bottom of the Perspex cover to let it out.. taking parts off the ones in store at Abingdon showed me how rapidly they could deteriorate in a short space of time stored outside. At the very minimum if the panels are off to prevent condensation then stuff nylon mesh up inside to stop bird ingress.
