Nimrods @ Woodford.

I can understand disposing of uncompleted aircraft, but one that was intact and flying should have been mothballed somewhere in a museum.
I'm not suggesting that it should be kept operational (I presume that it was never handed over to the RAF) but FFS it's a treasure!

ZJ516 was based at warton for test purposes,i have got quite a few shots of it in flight from there as was ZJ517 and ZJ518 and as far as i know ZJ514 is hangared there as well.

Evening Chris, are they being flown to Woodford for scrapping there, or are they going to do it at Warton ?

[Tonka71]

517 has already been cut up,516 and 518 are still parked on the flight ramp at woodford.I would imagine they'll cut 514 up at warton.

[Chris G6 UXU]

Thanks Chris, we will be having another trip over shortly weather permitting.

[Chris G6 UXU]

I believe two more have been taken outside for scrapping, I only know that 520 was one of them.

[Tonka71]

ZJ521 was the other.

[Chris G6 UXU]

Thanks Chris, have you any idea how many are left ?
