very nice Neil, I haven't been for 8 years when I did the Concorde simulator experience which was good fun. It looks to have changed a lot since so I must go back sometime soon.

love the Vanguard video!
thanks for posting them

nice set and far better light than I had on Wednesday .
Was it very busy? It seemed quiet on Wednesday - about 5 minutes between flights but I assume that's somewhere near the norm at present.

thanks for posting them, especially nice to see the 747

The BA B747s... Are these the aircraft that are off to join the Rossiya Airlines fleet. ?

That now seems to have been an unfounded rumour unfortunately. Of those that were quoted (all in the G-BYG* series) three are at Kemble and two are in that line up alongside the road.

as a follow on from my single photo from Kemble last week here is a more comprehensive photo record of my visit, starting with the British Airways 747s again so they are all in one place..... these are on the section of taxiway C which runs alongside the A429 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5035...

Covid has brought about the demise of British Airways' mighty Boeing 747 fleet after 49 years of operations, they were one of the last major operators of the type. These are 5 of 7 currently stored at Kemble awaiting their fate - probably at the hands of the scrapman although BA hope to find new own...

thanks Pete, sorry one more question, does the parking machine take cards or do I need coins (hardly ever have coins in my pocket these days so need to be prepared!).

I made another trip to Old Warden yesterday for their 3rd 'drive in' airshow and once again it was an excellent day out with a few new aircraft that I hadn't seen there before, here's a selection and there are loads more in my flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125470545@N07/albums/72157715...
