The Comet airliner which remained outside until 1989. Very helpful for the parachute club in spotting the airfield from cloudy skies. Both this and the Shackleton flew in to Strathallan1974 and 1976 respectively. The Comet's undercarriage collapsed on landing! The support at the rear of the aircraft was due to the fact that it could topple onto its tail end without much difficulty- it was that finely balanced. One heavy snowfall had the aircraft resting on its tail the next morning!
Both aircraft were scrapped in situ during 1989.
