Beau's aren't really that difficult to store if you're prepared to reduce them to major assemblies - cockpit area, centre fuselage, rear fuselage, tail surfaces, wing centre section, outer wings. It's a bit of a job to dismantle one, but personally I'd rather do that than leave it sitting outside for thirty years. But then I don't particularly have a grudge against the RAF Museum...
