Sad.

So they found a 70 years old WWII plane in very good condition and then proceed to dismantle it like a car in a junkyard ...

What is next ? pressing and melt it to make Red Bull cans ?

+1 It hurts so much to see that canopy undamaged in video 1, and then busted in video 2 - and let's guess they did not open the ammo loading doors with a screwdriver but with a crowbar... Arghh...

Why don't the friggin RAF that according to the story has been contacted and identified the AC just fly down a team of experts and tell them to just get away from the wreck?

well it's sad but it would have happened soon or late. Weapons and ammo have to be removed anyway for safety reasons. Wonder what's gonna happen to it now.

Would not surprise me if we see a glut of parts on Ebay or similar (the wonderful power of the internet )

Well, it's been there is the desert for 70 years without anyone stealing those old .50 guns/rounds - I guess getting a working AK for a few bucks in that region is a lot easier than going out there picking up those dusted up guns It just hurts seeing them tear those ammo boxes away...

It looks extremely well preserved (due to the dry climate naturally). But one can wonder what happens to aluminium that has been exposed to extreme heat every day for 70 years, and then rather harsh cold every night I was in the Sahara not far from there long ago and the temperature range you go through in a 24 hour period is rather impressive...
