What a waste, the last of the first ever RAF jet transports being chopped up, worse considering it had been preserved before being put on the gate and left to rot. One wonders how future generations will look on us for not saving the last one, probably the same as could have been said about the final Halifax scrapped as late as 1961. Fair enough their are a couple now, the wreck in Hendon, the rebuilt one in Canada and the composite in Elvington, but they had to salvage one from the bottom of a fiord and that didn't come cheap.
