Re: Belfast G-BEPS
Very sad news to see that she is being broken for parts. At least there is one preserved Belfast in this country, that being in the Cold War Museum at DCAE Cosford!
I really cant see Heavy Lift selling her for restoration as they have started breaking her for parts, which they obviously need to keep their other aircraft flying!

Re: Belfast G-BEPS
However well-intentioned Phillip Rhodes' "bid", BEPS isn't the prototype as reported (That was scrapped ages ago) and if the owners are to continue flying their airworthy example the only source of spares is the example at Southend.
