The Museum at Hoton-Radford Airport have bought ex BOAC Boeing B707-336C G-ATWV.

This is in defiance of the Royal Air Force Museum at RAF Cosford's Infamous "mardy moment" when they destroyed the British Airways Collection because they couldn't get a Concorde way back in 2003.
The hilarious part is, the Barbados Concorde is now looking for a new home, meaning if they hadn't spat their dummies out and waited like a big boy/girl they could have had what they wanted all along!

----------Personal Note----------

To my knowledge, BOAC's B707-336C's could carry 189 passengers, which, coincidentally is exactly the same as Ryanair's Boeing 737-8AS that I used to work with!
