good point! question for GAZ whats staying and whats goint to the can facrtory? as i understand it "BOB" is going to run at brunty and that would mean that 147 is destind to be broken up? is that right?

[Gaz]

I'm hearing A LOT of different variations, but, as I understand it (And this is BY NO MEANS WHAT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN) We're keeping Bob, 147 is being taken apart and roaded to Cosford.

Any spares that we currently have (And that is a lot) that nobody wants to buy, will be kept for keeping Bob alive as long as possible

[Dan4th]

Does RAF still have any spares, plans
and all that stuff???

If so, what do they plan to do with it???

[Gaz]

I imagine, anything the RAF has left will go for sale through the DSA. That's what usually happens

[Dan4th]

Well, I hope Mister Walton is sufficiently
interested to cough up the cash to buy
the things which will be required...

It would be nice if Brunty could become
at least somewhat of Funbus Central,
after all....

Are they bothering to save anything off
the scrappers, btw?

HOPE SO !

Sad news!Bye,bye Vickers VC-10!It was one of the most beautiful jet airliner!

[Kermit]

Great shots, Gaz. Did you notice the hush as she touched down? People were definitely saddened by the occasion.
And full marks to David Walton for personally removing the barriers as she had parked and telling us to go and have a closer look. That was great. So sad to see the end of such a lovely aircraft.
Fingers crossed for BOB, you never know.....

[Gaz]

I didn't notice much of anything, to be honest:





I was on my own, personal, viewing platform

[Kermit]

visited your kingdom lunchtime-ish but didnt spot you.
However, your name was mentioned in several conversations during the day.... Fame? Notoriety? Take your pick !

[Gaz]

I was there, I assure you

So what are "they" saying about me?

[Bubbles]

That you're a k***

[Dougs]

[Gaz]

They'd be quite correct

[Bubbles]

Nobody has mentioned anything about you to me mate.

[Dan4th]

You're lucky you weren't taken out
by a SNIPER !!!!!

Face it, Gaz, you're a Good Target

Danf.

[Gaz]

[Dan4th]

Sorry, didn't mean to be

Usually think before I post.....
