November 2019 Updates

Updated HS748 page
N15-709 that was at the Australian Aviation Museum at Bankstown has been broken up.
The forward fuselage along with a two metre section of the centre fuselage containing the Electronic Warfare station went to the FAA Museum at Nowra

I asked around and it seems that the nose of A10-604 has been scrapped

Looks like a nice neat cutting job was done.
