May be of interest to some of you. Im not sure what security is like there. Please respect the fact that many people lost their lives in this tragedy.

No doubt it will be moved, or heavily guarded, and we might as well say trying to take anything is still technically theft to any 'guests' looking at this i strongly encourage you not for legal and moral reason, A sad and shocking event, I hope it is moved somewhere else this is not very respectful to all who lost there lives having this just left this.
But interesting non the less. May all 270 victims rest.

I live near here, the main body of the jet is in a warehouse, just next to the other remains. The remains are viewable from the go kart track next to the scrapyard. You can't really see much unless you take some binoculars.

Got this one already on my map. tbh the cars next to it look more interesting

Had this pinned for a little while. Albeit it's mostly scrap metal, nothing of major interest like dials or cockpit components.

I think a report exploring this would be in very bad taste.

Maybe in contemporary times but thirty odd years later I really dont see a problem.

 

[zombizza]

haha, yeah. Its fair to say we love places with dark history...be it lobotomies, abuse homes, murder estates, animal testing......this aint much different

 

[trikey]

Saw this a few years back, it does give you a strange feeling when up close to it, maybe its because im of the age when I can remember seeing it on the news when it happened.

Still think it's pretty raw for a lot of people, it's not quite the same as exploring a hospital or whatever where people died also.

It's interesting, sure, but not report-worthy I don't think.

I think the subject of the largest terrorist incident to happen on UK soil is a little different to those sort of places.
