G-AOVS Bristol Britannia 312F @ Luton 16/04/21
Went to see Amy this evening and was pleasantly surprised to find that she now resides in a much more accessible location to previously, right next to the fence.
Hope the pics were of interest.
Cheers,
Oz

What a dreadfully sad sight that is, someone needs to end her misery before she starts to look any worse.
Thanks for posting them Oz, I had no idea that she was still there.

If you go on Google maps and zoom in (Sat view)
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.87951 ... a=!3m1!1e3
it is North East side of airport in fire training area. I assume it has been moved closer to fence now.
Interesting pictures by the way. Does anyone know why the hulk was falsely marked as "G-BRAC" ?
This was officially allocated to another frame.

Pretty much next to the fire trainer. If you walk the footpath from Wigmore Valley Park that runs along the eastern edge of the airport you can't miss it.Stug298 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 4:46 pmhi oz where exactly is this please ?TheMightyOz wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 9:44 pmWent to see Amy this evening and was pleasantly surprised to find that she now resides in a much more accessible location to previously, right next to the fence.

'Amy' was indeed named on G-BRAC which was lost at Boston in 1980. The by-then grounded G-AOVS was re-titled 'REDAIR' and 'Amy' so that the BBC TV series 'Buccaneer' could be completed using this aircraft for static shots.Stug298 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 24, 2021 8:11 amthank you...LondonEye wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 7:55 amIf you go on Google maps and zoom in (Sat view)

Such a pitiful sight
I remember seeing her in better times with Lloyd International and IAS Cargo Airline in the 70's.
