However.
in hindsight i admit that referring to something which people have cared for for a long time as "some hulk" was insensitive. for that I apologise. I myself have seen airframes that i've flown and cared for end up in similar circumstances and it is not easy.
But my point remains the same - I don't want people putting themselves in harms way to protect something that is going to be turned into scrap anyway.
