Hello all,
You may remember the first lot I uploaded mid-last year (2014!) with the scrappies at Kemble, and the Britannia open day. Well I've got an updated set which shows the change of scene at Kemble. Whilst a handful of scraps are still there, such as the DHL A300, The RAF TriStar and Gulf Air A340 have gone, and others like the Vueling 320's remains either in pieces or as a fuselage only.
Here's a photo tour of some 'new' arrivals, and a couple of other bits thrown in:
747-300 ex-MedView airlines TF-AME in the scrap area, As of January 2015 it's been here for a year, but is slowly having bits taken off:
This photo was taken just 16 days after this Alitalia A321 arrived (Either EI-IXG or IXU), and all that remains so far is the fuselage, certainly stripped faster than the Corsair 747, F-HLOV, behind which, after spending most time being dumped in different areas of the airfield, is now located in the scrap pad:
A line up of ex-Yamal 757-500's. VP-BRQ, VP-BRU, VP-BRV and VP-BRS are lined up awaiting the torch:
Former AtlasJet A320-200 TC-ATJ in the queue for scrapping, almost looking like it's still active if you ignore the missing engines!:
A shame to see a 757 put away, but this -200 has been flying for a good 27 years. This ex-Monarch example is parked next to the AtlasJet 320 awaiting scrapping.:
Having arrived the month before in November, parts have already been taken off former Shanghai Airlines 737 B-2632.
It was re-registered after withdrawal to N216AP, probably as the Apollo Aviation Group now owns the plane:
This 319 is being worked on for stripping. The day this photo was taken, work was being done removing the engines. Other bit's are likely to follow.
Also owned by Apollo, it's new registration is N303SF:
Next to the Shanghai 737 is a former Alitalia A321, with more left of her than the sister Italian 321 in the scrap pad:
Another view of former China Eastern's A319:
The sun glints of 747-300 N176SG, still in the same spot it's been sitting on for quite some time:
A view of former Yamal 757-500's:
Wiltshire based Piper Warrior G-VICC is seen parked up at Kemble:
Also on the day we visited was a Jaguar meet, for some Xmas meal I believe at the AV8. A good line up I must say, I couldn't help taking this shot:
