Not too far at all. Its just by hatton cross bus/underground station, to cover it on foot would take a few minutes on foot. The triple has now been moved to the side of the white hangar (visible in background). There was discussion about it being rebuilt, but although it looks superficially ok, the more you look at it, the more things wrong you can see with it. and altho it might have been an optical illusion, the forward fuselage looked ever so slightly bent and the starboard stabiliser leading edge has been shredded by the departing main gear.
