Just on the southern edge of Coulanges sur l'Autize on the road to Niort there has been a night club partly formed from old railway carriages and the fuselage and tail of a Caravelle. Just been past this afternoon and looks like the club is being demolished and the "Caravelle" has gone. Does anyone know if any of it has been preserved and if so where. I believe the cockpit section was in fact designed by De Havilland and owed much to the Comet nose section.

There was a thread about this on the Keypublishing forums: Another one bites the dust - or is there now one less Caravelle survivor? (http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?140198-Another-one-bites-the-dust-or-is-there-now-one-less-Caravelle-survivor)

Jhieminga, thanks for that steer. Seems like something is now missing
