It will be most unfortunate if the VC10 and BAC111 are now to be broken up perhaps elsewhere on the airfield using the expertise of Apple Aviation who parted out the Netherlands Air force KC-10 some time ago. Several other aircraft such as the Canberra and Varsity arrived at Newquay in a bit of a state and volunteers have toiled over many months and tidied them up, will these same volunteers be prepared to get Classic's aircraft ready for transporting to Coventry?
What now for the former Nimrod hangar, surely a most useful asset calling out for someone to make good use of.
Meanwhile not far away, the future of St. Mawgan's Shackleton remains uncertain
