Does 106 mean the model or the number. 
Yeah bit close for going too fast.
Bruntingthorpe is such a cool place though. Random 747 in the middle of everything.

Just storage I think. Tail number is SX-OAD, which itself makes an interesting Google search.

Thats it next to a few other aircraft also stationed there. I've photos of my Astra in my garage on the middle bay. Great place.
Edit again - it was de-classified in 2002 and has been stored there since then. It is now painted in ASDA colours after a promotional event on the airfield in 2006.

I'm pretty sure all track time will be sold by now. Should be a good event at Rockingham, was always good at Bruntingthorpe.
I think the plane is decked out inside to hold conferences and meals etc
