A missed chance for the Aviodrome. It is.
A lot of these old Transavia Caravelles were scrapped in 1976 at Schiphol. They had the chance before.
Only a cockpit-section was left.
Sometimes the truth is painful. (quote John Lennon).

But there is still a chance: Caravelle 6r ex PH-TRY before its too late.
