I was up at Bruntingthorpe airfield today (Renault doing test drives of their fleet) (Southa od Leicester)
It has a superb vintage aircraft collection, including a fully operational Super Guppy and a Victor K2, plus a whole raft of Lightnings, Hunters and Canberras & even a Comet 4
At the far side of the runway was a 747-200 in white and blue. I was told this was the third one to arrive, when the airframe hours ahs=d been used, they strip them of engines & servicable parts here and then destroy the airframe. I wondered where they went to die.....
