Hello

I remember seing an article in Aeroplane Monthly in the early eighties showing the complete wreck (fuselage, wings, taiplane) of a Typhoon hanging engine down in a crane. If I remember correct the caption was that the aircraft had been trawled up near the Spanish (!) coast and was scrapped shortly after.

The chances of a Typhoon off the Spanish coast look very slim to me, or could this have been R8895?

Anyone know more about this particular typhoon or the article?

Cheers

Cees
