Default CH5582457 was CH5582547 originally

Sadly, it did not end well for this F60S. Fifteen years ago it was destroyed in a blaze which affected several MLU members, notably Nigel Watson and Jim Hay who was the owner of this F60S LAAT at that time. Luckily, the loss was only material...

Default Salvaged LAAT remains were sold off

Nigel later offered the scorched LAAT body for sale.

That was in 2013, where did it go?
