Theres a real one parked about 600 yards away from my house.
Parked up in the corner of Bristol Filton runway (as was) rusting away while 2 so called preservation organisations argue over its future. Been sat there since the last flight deteriorating.
Utter utter disgrace.
I worked at Filton on and off from 2003 -2007 and used to walk from the carpark, past her every morning. in the end, she looked so sorry for herself, dirty with ailerons slightly dropping on the one side.Parked up in the corner of Bristol Filton runway (as was) rusting away while 2 so called preservation organisations argue over its future.

More recently I have been working just outside Paris, and, flying into Paris Orly / driving south out of the city, I pass this equally sorry looking Air France example, covered in grafiti, standing next to 2x Mirage III's
