De Havilland Comet C2 "Sagittarius" XK699
It has been confirmed that RAF Lyneham is to close and I would like to raise the question - what will become of the Comet Gate Guardian? This fine example of British achievment is already in a barely maintained condition and I fear that it could easily end up a victim of the cutters torch as the money supply for the domed unit dries up and precious resources are diverted to more needy projects.
As soon as timescales for closure are announced, I hope somebody will decide this rare jetliner has to be preserved and the wheels of transportation and preservation will grind swiftly into action.
Your thoughts please?
