As a complete and utter spotter who is employed at the 'doomed airbase' I would like to know what is going to happen to the poor old Comet sat on the gate. There is currently no money spent looking after it, and there is now likely to be even less (!) So are we to see the demise of one of the few remaining examples of the worlds first jet airliner, or can an early offer be made to ship it to somebody who will preserve it for future generations.
For those closet spotters who are afraid of being outed in this thread, go to the aviation history and nostalgia section on pprune where you can comment on the thread I have started in a similar vein...........your secret is safe with us, honest
