On the close up shots you can see the corrosion all over the aircraft. I really think its the end of her flying days - unless someone throws a lot of cash at her.

Thanks again for the photos Moses :D

Sad, so sad............... :cry:

At least in my day she was covered in engine oil, and hydraulic fluid. (Shack suntan lotion).

Still..............she's not on the station fire dump.................yet.

I'll wager that they didn't pay that much to the MOD for her in the first place, and she would have been in far better condition................. :!:

What are the chances of her flying back across the pond in the condition that she's in now............ :?:

Thanks for the pictures anyway, to Henk and Moses.

The one we still have at Coventry looks in much better condition than that.

Off topic but can we limit the size of pics to 800x600? One of those pics was 219kb and I got it down to 53kb within a few seconds.

Irfanview will do it and it's free.
