VC10 is engineless and I saw some comments a few days ago regarding the condition of the 111 which was said to be deteriorating at a rate of knots. Surely a major player in aircraft preservation has not brought these airliners to Newquay only to have to scrap them........... but any other solution is likely to be costly.


I find it ironic that the Cornish Aviation Society have managed to keep the St. Mawgan Shackleton looking so neat and tidy over a period of twenty five or more years yet the VC10 and 111's future looks potentially bleak having only been at Newquay for a comparatively short time.
