Thanks for sharing the photo.
Brought back memories (2001) of dealing with On-Line Mobile Phone Accessories and the Nokia Facias that never fitted!

Trim tabs may be worth salvaging?
How does this get to happen before they surface for sale?!

That really is a depressing sight. It's a bit like seeing an old man lying beaten up in a gutter.

This is happening all the time with many things at the moment including small jet engines and gas turbine. The reason is that the price of scrap metal is just trough the roof. A lot of things that enthusiast would buy as project’s are now been bought up by scrap men. And most scrap yards that might have had surplus stuff sitting round are now cashing in whilst metal prices are high. Yet another piece of history that will end up as Coke Cans

No - It's Martin Mansbridge's old Class 2 cat from the mid 90's.
