Was there today and got a rising of the hair on the back of my neck when she landed for the last time!!! Very sad time but was pleased to see the archway of water!! Spoke to one of the aeropark volunteers, it would appear that she is to be declassified on the maintenance side of the airport (by the looks of it the old Fields/Hunting hangar) then dragged across the airfield where the fence is being taken down to get her into place. They will probably open her up now and again like their Vulcan. All this is due in the first week or so of August.
