Anybody see Steven Fry last night when he visited the the aircraft graveyard? Except apparently they're all wrapped in a type of cling-film and filled with expanding rubber, ready to be used whenever the time comes. Some interesting planes in that bunch.

Most of them are broken up for spares - or, in times of extreme need, sold to the first African Despot with enough money hehe

It is, however, a shame to see so many aircraft sitting there...
