ಠ_ಠ trashing it!

I didn't see no trashing.
They are taking out the ammunition to make it safer. Although I doubt ammo that old and dusty will go off spontaneously but better safe than sorry.

Well, it's British.

I wonder who gets to claim ownership? That thing must be worth a crap load of money, especially since its in such good condition.

The military is taking the ammo. Wouldn't be surprised if they take the entire plane.

Hopefully they are smart enough to sell it as an airplane to someone in the states or in Europe instead of the local smelting yard.

Fully restored these sell for a couple of million, I'd bet they could get maybe even a few hundred k for this.

There's something weird about this video...It almost looks like CGI that's been masked with a ton of effects to make the video look like it's from a crappy camera. It's just the way the camera moves and looks around so smoothly despite the choppy video.

1:26 is that the pilot? He crawled way int he back for shelter?

looks like it's just the superstructure of the plane to me.
