The end is nigh

Telegraph report,

On Monday private contractors hired by the Ministry of Defence will chop off the wings of the first of nine Nimrod MRA4 aircraft.
The Government claims that the decision to scrap the Nimrods will save £2 billion in operating costs over the next decade
To avoid government embarrassment each £400 million aircraft will be draped in tarpaulin and dragged to a remote corner of an airfield where they will be “brutally” dismantled.


What a stupid, criminal and sad act of vandalism.
Anyone in the vicinity........photos please for the coroners report.
