Hello mate :)

The last pic I saw it looked very tired, and I guess that it is completely empty :-(

I'm watching F.27 G-BMXD when I go to the flying club as it's only a matter of time before the breakers start on her, although I've a better chance of getting a valid Concorde rating than getting the nose home :lol:
but you could always buy Mrs Cornbank a new mop, duster and Hoover
Try a new house and husband and I might be in with a chance.

cheers

Hi Garry,

Its been gradually rotting here for a few years now in basic BAC express livery . The windows are boarded up and the flying controls and engines have been removed. It has been joined by the MNG Kargo 500 which taxied into a GPU last year with various debris puncturing the fuselage. I can't see either of them leaving again :-(

It's much worse than this now

Hi Fraser

Thanks

The pic I posted via a link above shows it with controls and other bits off :-(

I'm not surprised about the Turk.......that looked serious and with a lot of them sitting aroung now for the taking removing an engine with a gpu was not a good career move.
