thanks to Joe Heeney, who has authorised me to use this photo of the very same plane in the previous photo...here is the end of this remarkable plane that I believe was manufactured in 1963...eventually airframe corrosion becomes so rampant that it is beyond economic repair ...the death knell has sounded...shortly after this photo was taken, the plane was wheeled into a hangar, and systematically reduced to rubble..an amazing time lapse video taken from a ceiling mounted camera exists showing the complete airframe disappear in about 15 minutes...in real time I think it took about 3 months !!..wish I could see it again..it was heart rending to see it's massacre....some one in Shannon can perhaps direct us??..maybe it is on YouTube..
