Stored near the church and in the area where the VC-10s were scrapped was the fuselage of a Eurofighter. This is non-flying Major Test Item "JP098", used for wing attachment box trials by EADS Munich. It arrived at St.Athan on 11/07/02 and was at first stored by the Battle Damage Repair Training School before passing to the NDT School. For many years it was stored near the old Harrier engine running pan. Not seen recently and probably scrapped/departed.
