I was there on Good Friday.
G-APFJ B707-436 - engines on ground, fenced off needing a respray
(last survivor of this mark)
G-ARVM VC10 - untouched but looking a little bedraggled but still a beauty
G-AVMO BAC111 - looking in need of TLC but still very much in one piece
G-ALWF Viscount - amazing machine - needing a bit of care and maintenence
G-ARPH Trident 1C - looked the best of the lot - so best to scrap it !

The Comet and Britannia belong to the RAF I believe and look OK but need to be indoors.

Why East Fortune doesn't want the backbone of the EDI-LHR shuttle is beyond me. It looks really good for it's age. Incidentally the Belfast next to the VC10 looks immaculate.

Hurry while there's still time. You now only have photos and memories for the children...........
