Cosford's Trident is also to be scrapped. The nose of the Trident,and that of the 707,plus the complete Viscount,and the complete BAC111 are all to be moved to East Fortune in Scotland. These all still belong to British Airways,and the rumour is that the RAF want them out.

This is a shame,but as happened when the Concorde was moved to East Fortune,other aircraft there have received their marching orders. I know that at least the Miles Monarch,which belongs to the Aircraft Preservation Society of Scotland (APSS),will be looking for pastures new. I personally value the aircraft they presently have,and they're possibly thinking that the airliners will draw more visitors. A very sad day.
