Just a quick update - This Aircraft now at Midlands Air Museum - ownership changed last year and now owned by the Museum. Currently waiting for lifting and re-assembly later this year hopefully. The Cockpit has be re-assembled (looks good) and the passenger compartment fitted out. The outside is painted in Air Inter colours (owners after Air France). I will get some Photo's taken and post them ASAP

And two Scandinavian aviation photographers are inbound MAM on 13 May, shortly after noon to be more precise (subject to no ash clouds in the vicinity of OSL, AMS and HUY).

I was unofficially onboard it a month or two ago. Its not in too bad a condition and they've definitely made some progress since it arrived.
