You're quite right HS, on photo's it doesn't
Truth is, if you are able to look at it, DO! It's obviously not yet in quite the same state as 391 is, or rather, was, but it is in a ridiculously bad state for one of our historic aircraft.

Stacker, if you could see if close up, and the corrosion on places like the trailing edges, Forward Fuselage, Main Legs and U/C bays where the planks of 2 by 4 have stored the moisture for the past 15 years, you may well be outraged also

Ignore the fact that the pictures on the website are a full 6 years old, and the aircraft has had 4 different resting places since then, your spot of Googling is obviously far more reliable than an officer who has physically seen an enormously beautiful chunk of heritage rot away before his very eyes.
