I was very sorry to read from the Trident Website that G-AWZO was cut up at Hatfield in August.
I travelled on ZO on its last day in service - 31st December 1985 on a 'tribute' flight from Manchester. We did a low pass at Liverpool and Isle of Man, and one back at Manch before landing. Later that evening (around 18:00) ZO operated the Shuttle flight to Heathrow - her very last flight in service.
She then flew to Hatfield for 'preservation', but when I saw her about 1999 she was still on the north side at Hatfield, and in very bad shape. She had obviously just been left parked since 1985.
Shortly afterwards Hatfield was used for filming 'Band of Brothers', ZO was towed to the main apron, and the runways were lifted.
When I spoke to the guys at the DH museum at Salisbury Hall a while back they were hopeful that they might at least get the nose section. I presume that didn't happen.
