The gentleman at Cosford on Good Friday also told me East Fortune was taking the whole 707 but the statement on the fence says they only get the nose.
B707 G-APFJ has a long connection with Scotland as it flew transatlantic through Prestwick with BA and BOAC. G-ARVM used to be based at Prestwick as the VC10 fleet training machine. It was an amazing aircraft. A true historic loss. Of course G-AMOG was one of two BOAC (later BA ) Viscounts based at Prestwick (alongwith G-AMON, operated by Cambrian on BA feeder routes to EDI and BFS). So they all have strong Scottish connections.
