RAF museum in Cosford is going to scrap their Boeing 707, G-APFJ
Well, it is the RAF Museum and the RAF never operated the 707 so it isn't really an appropriate exhibit. I do not know how it arrived at Cosford, but presumably the museum was inveigled to take it and now there are no funds forthcoming to maintain and retain it, so unless an appropriate home is found for it (and funding) then it will have to go. If any enthusiasts feel strongly enough about it then they will presumably go out and find the cash to preserve these aircraft.
