And the VC10, when I visited the landing lights in the nose were full of water, the simple expediency of either resealing the covers or drilling a hole in the bottom of the perspex lens would allow it to drain.. the wing tanks were open as well underneath, and no mesh had been put over the holes allowing birds to get in and moisture too. I remember the ones at Abingdon where the spars were in their own swimming pool and wonder how long 808 will last.
Really they all want some external roof putting over them.... and don't get me started on what was an immaculate Catalina dragged outside to make way for a corporate events area.... to drive revenue for aircraft restoration.. that will be needed in the future, due to the aircraft being shoved outside, a sort of self licking lolipop.
