Still there, I guess. One was left to rot at Heathrow when they were all grounded IIRC. :'(

The model that was outside Heathrow is now at the Brooklands museum, by the way. Keep meaning to pay a visit there.

i dont think theres access through there no more cause of the arms reach access to the planes would be a big threat for terrorists. when a plane went through, the gates opened and you would sit and wait for about 10mins, you could of blew a plane up within 5 seconds,  i sat on the hill and watched them all come in to land on the last flight.  was a real buzz.

There isn't going to be many if any British icons left soon. i think there will be a 100Ft For sale sign up at dover soon One country  :"Many careless owners" Some service history selling for parts or repair  ;D

Washing a car, is like making love to a beautiful woman.  caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

If this is realized it will be yet another gutless act by those in a country where heritage seems to be a dirty word and and the worship of money means all. [smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif]
