Thanks TM
Looking at those photos I'm not convinced that the VC10 is too corroded to be saved. I remember seeing VC10 parts being milled out of solid metal. The reason they they were not successful commercially was because they were built too strong. I think it's just another example of the all the spin and misinformation currently being put about by the RAFM.
Work on the 707 seems to have stopped? When was the photo taken?
