Thanks again lads for the follow up, but the noses from the airframes that Marine salvage have were used in the cheap movie I mentioned, I was wondering how they were taken off, chopped or properly removed so they could be refitted if needed?

Well I would hope they are still there, the Lightning is a lovely old lady.

Regards,

Will
