A tragic sight for any pilot. There is something so folorn about an aircraft that wil never fly again, just abandoned and left to rot. I flew commercially for 35 years, and any pilot will tell you that even with the same type of aircraft, they all have their own little idiosyncracies - things that make them unique. I wouldn't mind a crack at the jet engine pictured above - looks to me like a little TLC could have that running again. It's amazing how much abuse or neglect they will take before they really become unusable. Strip that down, re-lubricate the shaft plus some other tinkering and who knows?Every aircraft has a story - and some of the above may well have some history behind them. A real pity our government grounded the Harriers.Thank you for this post.
