Spend money to get an aircraft to an airfield which is further away from its final destination than the one that it starts-off from. Brilliant.

Route planning - more motorway options from Kemble than there are from Waddington.

Method Statement and Risk Assessment - if the dismantling company is based at Kemble then it's easier to do the work on your own patch than within MoD regulations at Waddington or Shawbury.

You couldn't make it up, could you?! Oh well, I guess nothing should surprise me these days...

Sheff,

As an aside - despite it's past history of aircraft scrapping - Shawbury has an aquifer located beneath the airfield - they are very careful to avoid spills!

The problem Sheff is that you attempt to solve military problems with a logical approach.
Don't forget to introduce Capt. Tangent to throw things totally askew!

Logic and common sense disappear proportionally the higher up the rank structure/political ladder you are

Hi Folks....

Been to East Midlands today.... You cannot see the Nimrod from the Aeropark Museum,
It is presently sat in the 'West Cargo' area of the airport (Pretty easy to spot from the road)

I spoke to the guys at Aeropark and they said the Nimrod will be moved into their site at the end of July (no specific date yet)

Regards

Ben

Sheff wrote:Why Kemble? That doesn't make any sense. Shawbury is the usual destination for Cosford exhibits. Even more odd - why keep a crew current and keep an aircraft airworthy until the 28th? Why wasn't it shipped-out ages ago?

I won't complain, Kemble is closer to me than Shawbury so im more likely to get up there
