Spotted a 10 minute walk away from Bristol Airport, I couldn't help but have a look...

The sign says no entry, but I asked a guy who was driving through and he said it would be fine to go up and have a look around

What a beauty....now I just need to contact the owner, and I might get a look inside Cheesy

And it isnt listed in Wrecks and Relics, which surprises me as it's clearly visible from the air on approach to the airport, and from the road...

Let's hope it doesn't get vandalised. Roll Eyes

My dad's friend knows the farmer who owns it - the farmer also runs a small car park so people can park their car there when they go on holiday much like the other one near there (only the farmer will only allow half a dozen or so cars)

I shouldn't think it will get vandalised, I think he keeps it in good condition

(If I can find the owner's details I'll send them your way Mic)

it was also in the paper a few months back that a guy in that area has bought one of the Navy's SHARs, minus an engine Wink

Perhaps its the same bloke Cheesy

I'd rather the aircraft was kept in an enviroment where it would be properly looked after, rather than facing up to the british weather day after day personally.
