: Hi Mikael,
I don`t have any pictures of the beast Im afraid, but it wasn`t in very good shape. They had an excavated DB motor placed in front of it (not its own), the wings were stacked against the wall behind it and the fuselage was just sat on the floor. It was dented and beaten but it didn`t look like it had been crashed (though it was hard to say!) The data plate was screwed to the wall behind a perspex sheet.
I foolishly asked an old guy who was working there about it and he said something like "Bloody old rubbish - take it with you!" Thats the spirit!
Cheers James D
