Jonesy's big day out.
Posted: 29 May 2006, 02:08
Finaly was able to get to Cosford to have one last look at the VC-10. Sadly I was too late to se the 707 and Trident one last time, but nevermind. Here are some pics that I took.
:shock: :sad: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: They did a good job of cleaning up, I was hoping to pick up a bit of Trident, but there was nothing left but flakes of paint. Nothing left of the 707 either.
The foreward cargo door was ajar and yielded when pushed so I could take a peek inside.
Here is me giving the '10 a good going over. It really is in a poor state :crying:
I had a look at the 1-11 after, and noticed that a few of the service doors were missing on the engine, so put my hand inside and you can imagine my shock when a couple of Collard doves flew out of it in my face! I thought the engine was falling off or something!
I was looking at the stairs near the VC10 and noticed this on it, quite interesting...
Work on the Viscount is underway. A good chance to have a close look at those darts.
As you might have noticed from the pic above, the Valiant is out in the sunlight! From what I can see the Hanger is allmost complete and the Victor (and Vulcan?) are allready in there.
The said new hanger, It will surely be impressive seeing at Victor, Vulcan and Valiant in the same hanger!!!
A quick look around the hangers was enjoyable as usual...
Another "What if?" Plane... the Saunders Roe SR 53.
And then I was off to see another type of Classic British in action at SVR.
