Isn't it strange how we (and I do include myself in this) look at something like this in a sad light. I have to admit to a lump in my throat.

Now I don't want to get all 'GreenPeace' on you, but it could be seen as signifying the end of a weapon of mass destruction.  :?

37 metres maybe?  :wink:

Just reading the bit about how much to get it airworthy again. Only £30k??? That's amazingly little. Maybe I should have sold my house and bought it  :lol:  :lol:

PUX:

woody:

GETTING IT THERE WAS :lol:
