I recently paid a visit to the Queensland Air Museum to see the old Fokker F27 VH-FNQ, an aircraft I last flew in May 1982. I was shocked to see the amount of corrosion with major structural components literally delaminating. Corrosion was everywhere to the point I think it is past saving. I would hate to think what is inside that Belfast sight unseen. At one stage it was up to the axles in flood water.
