Is that piano leftover from a Top Gear stunt?

Bloody hell, some people have no respect. Everyone knows you should always put the lid down on a piano when you're not using it.

Whoever left it there was pretty quick about it, it wasn't there when I walked past at 2.30, but was there at 5. It's the cheek of dumping it in broad daylight on a pretty busy byway. That's Avebury in the background just behind the trees at the bottom.
It's the effort needed to take it up there and dump it when all they needed was to phone the council. 😐
Love the Jet Provost, that's certainly something you don't see every day!
Sorry, c_g, our posts overlapped, it's the Herepath leading up to the Ridgeway from Avebury.

The farmer who has the farm at the bottom was there so I told him about it, he's going to pick it up and salvage the metal and burn the rest.
Or else ask the bloke with the antique shop in the village if he wants it! 😆

Poor condition, second hand pianos are worth sweet FA cos they cost an absolute fortune to get back in to working order.

Must've been a damn good pilot to land it there!

Thought so Count, I sometimes ride up there on my way to Fyfield Down to get some healing vibes from the wethers!

Until such time as local councils accept any waste, it will continue unfortunately. A real eyesore and particularly so there. 🙁

Genuine LOL at that! Thank you! 😆
Jon, that one is certainly going to need a lot spent to get it back into good working order!
C_g, absolutely, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I don't think it'll be there long, the farmer'll see to that. 😀

Abso-bleedin'-lutely! Especially when you find a crop formation right next to the village!
Dunno what it looks like from the air, I'll have to have a shufti at the croppy sites.
[edit] lol at Nick. 😆

Ah yes, of course! I remember seeing it, but I didn't recognise it from that angle.
Obviously genuine, made by non-human agencies; at least, according to 'experts' who inspected it at the time... 😆
