Aye, they'll doubtless get dumped unless someone rescues them.
Of course, the real champions of stupidity are the RAF Museum. Owners of the only surviving Vulcan B1, and what did they do? They left it oustide to rust and then announced that it would be uneconomical to repair. Now, unless I've completely misunderstood the concept of a museum, I thought the idea was to restore and preserve, not ignore and destroy?
But then they also cut-up one of only two surviving Beverley transports, replacing it with a plastic Spitfire and Hurricane. Hmm... I suppose we shouldn't be surprised by anything, when you look at Hendon's new extension, and the main exhibits are... a BF-109 and a P-51. Confused? I know I am!
