Proplinerman -The scrapping of the airliners at Cosford was as much the fault of the RAFM as BA. BA provided a large amount of funding for years to sustain the collection -the RAFM benefited from admission fees and additions to its collection that it didn't have to pay for ! It should be pointed out that there wouldn't be a Britannia (308F) on display at Cosford if it wasn't for BA but its always easier to blame BA rather than see the RAFM wanting to clear room for it's 'exciting' new building project!
