Thanks Simon,

Sounds logical but I don't understand that they keep the removed bits in storage and not fitted back into the airframe as well as the perspex. That way it would look a bit less like a dumped hulk. Oops now this whole thing has stirred up again, better stop here (but I could talk for weeks on end on this subject though).

Anyway, if someone of you is visiting the RAFM by chance next wednesday and spots someone lying on his belly in front of W1048, then it would be me who is taking photographs.
