Manston graveyard 22-6-2013

A visit to the manston airshow meant that I was parked very close to the 'graveyard' containing 2 B747s (TF-ARU and N309TD) and DC.8 9G-MKA, some photos of them before they succumb to the scrap man...

TF-AMC was also an inmate but was scrapped recently, this is all that remains..

Nice images.

I did initially wonder if you had spotted the remains of the scrapped Saudia B747.
