747 forward section at Manston
Took the Mrs. & kids on a day trip to Broadstairs recently, and stopped off at Manston for a look around (we enjoyed a decent and inexpensive Sunday Roast at the restaurant by the way!).
Walking up to the flying club later we passed the extraordinary sight of the sliced foward section of a 747 comprising the flight deck and beneath that the Pax compartment.
Fascinating and sad at the same time, as I'm sure anyone who's seen a cut-up aircraft will know. Can anyone shed some light i.e. the history of the aircraft in question; it's reg (I'd like to search !!!!!!!!!!!!!! to see it in happier times): and why it lies there at all.
Thanks in advance.
Edited for lakk of proper proofreading!
