I spoke to a friend of mine only last night who rescued one of those cockpit sections. He has now amassed enough stuff to make a nice rebuild project for someone and it is for sale at a cheap price ?18k ono (IIRC).
Flypast had neat pictures of the yard in its heyday. I just wish It had been cleared just 5 years later! The issue, I believe was issue 1.
