I dunno about 'that long' mate.. it'd obviously not been used for donkeys when that shot was taken in 1970! Is that a Provost alongside? I bet that met the scrapmans blade too!

You would be surprised at how long things lasted at Farnbough! One only has to look at the age & number of types that they kept flying!

That was probably the plan mate but it seems it was left to rot while they got on with other things :cpu:
