It would be interesting to know the Vigilant disposal plans as I doubt if any will fly again, afterall the might of the RAF failed to achieve that so what chance a private individual. Gone also are the days of letting the station fire section burn an airframe for practice and I understand that as they are glass reinforced plastic, crushing and disposing as landfill is also prohibited. A friend who works in local government tells me that the best disposal method is high temperature incineration, a specialist method that, guess what? Costs money ie 2-3 thousand per airframe
