Just been to see G-BOAD in NY and what a shame

[martin vr6]

Hi guys I'm not what you would call an "Aviation Buff" or expert but I've just been along to the Intrepid Museum in NY, mainly to see G-BOAD, and I'm thoroughly disappointed in her general poor condition inside. I have been to East Fortune to see G-BOAA and she was in fine fettle considering she had not been refitted since the 2000 updates but Alpha Delta is looking dirty and worn already, probably due to the Perspex not allowing you near the seats and therefore allowing dirt/dust to accumulate

such a shame to see these beautiful aircraft mothballed like this.

Out of the 18 survivors are any run regularly and which one would be easiest (although it will never happen) to return to airworthiness??

The one in Bridgetown is well looked after. The best one must be the French aircraft being looked after by the engineers in Le Bourget, I think it's almost airworthy.

Is the Manchester one still sitting outside in the spotters park?

No. They've built a shed round it.
