OFFICIALS at Manchester Airport and British Airways are trying to save one of Britain's oldest Trident 3B aircraft from being scrapped.
The Trident 3B G-AWZK, currently at London Heathrow Airport, has almost been restored to its original condition, thanks to many years of hard work by the Trident Preservation Society.
But recently the Society was told it must move the aircraft from Heathrow by March.
Manchester Airport and British Airways are now working together to try and save the aircraft so it can be put on public display at the Manchester aviation viewing park alongside one of the retired Concordes.
The society has launched an appeal to raise the £68,000 needed to move it.
