Scrapping Started

[Vulcanone]

I have read a post on the Key Forum which states they have started breaking up one of the Nimrods on the airfield

Thats correct I'm affraid, XV248 has been broken up for the museum at Inverness Airport. XV254 has been stripped inside and is just the airframe
But these aren't the only ones that have already meet their end, XV236 has already been broken up and is in a scrapyard somewhere near Boscome I'm not too sure what the others are Thing is though, it's only going to get worse

These are indeed very very sad times we live in The Nimrod Fleet is just the latest in a long line of victims of this economically inept Government we have been saddled with.

Is there any point in asking if there is to be part of a Nimrod bound for East Fortune, it's only that they have a Comet already and would be nice to have both a Comet and (part of) a Nimrod in the same place.

Not long now till (hopefully) we can get ride of 13 Years of horrid numpties - mind you be careful what happens when we get rid of one set of numpties another set could come in and more damage - - - -

Just checking that XV248 is the Inverness museum frame as I'd got XV254 down for this. 254 is now outside on the south side east of the hangars - it appears to have lost more bits, including a large section of lower fuselage now.
