That must have been almost heart breaking for the EI engineers who looked after them for all those years. Just an aluminium tube etc, but yet so much more. I remember seeing some photos only a few years ago of quite a few 1-11's parked together, covered in a thick layer of gunk somewhere in Nigeria, perhaps Kano (?) or Lagos. Might one of those have been the remaining EI cohort, or were these ROMBAC examples ?
