Does he mean 6th of July or June/July.

Initial post was for unknown time in June or July ‘17

SWAG clarify that ‘WY (Yankee) was broken up circa May 2017, with fuselage sections to Kemble 07/06/17.

The dates now tie up

The top two pics of the BA763 are that of G-BNWY. Scrapped at St Athan, the fuselage sections were roaded to Kemble in 06/07.17 for amalgamation with sections from the regular G-BNWS. Roaded out to unknown destinations over the following months. Above confirmed by SWAG (credit due) and some pics on ...

I could not see any reg or markings.

Looks like all reg / flag markings etc were overpainted in blue certainly by the 3rd August.

Also think the ex-Thai 777 should read N176GT

Thanks

Thanks MT The silkair A320 in the scrap area is 9V-SLI The biz jet fuselage on the Belfast should be the remains of Jetstar. HB-JGK. This arrived by road from Geneva on July 7th. The red/white A320 outside ASI is the recently arrived (24th July) ex-Philippine RP-C8994. Not sure if it still wears thi...

Thanks MT

The 738 in the hangar is the ex-Transaero EI-RUJ, which arrived from LETL on the 17th May.

Hi MT

The other ex-Brussels RJ is G-CKSG. (Ex OO-DWC) which arrived by road from Cranfield in mid-December 2017

If it helps with the ex-Jet2 airframes, there are currently five on the field. Airframes have been moving around a lot in recent days, so I can't be too accurate on precise positions, other than their general locations. The first Jet2 airframe from the most recent batch (G-CELD), has long since been...

Looking across from the A429, the B747-400 is on the right, with the B777-200's next to it.

Which B777-200 is which.

MTIA

N175GT is on the left of the trio, with N176GT in the middle. Both frames are engineless.

Thanks for a great report MT

To complete your listing for the Chevron Apron:
HZ-AIY. B744 Saudia
N176GT. B772. Thai
N175GT. B772. Thai. (US Registrations crudely applied, with the ex-HS registrations roughly taped over, with some characters still partly visible)

If it appeared stored / derelict, then it was most likely G-ATUE. I'm almost certain that it was the only Channel Airways Viscount not scrapped at Southend. It was certainly in a derelict state at EMA in August 1976, so is likely the one you're after. If it was active on that date, then ............?

The last unidentified Jet2 in Mark's great report is G-CELP , which arrived during mid-December . Maltatripper's identified G-CELD has spent the longest time of all the Jet2s on the field and is currently on jacks/pallets in an advanced state of disassembly. The other three on the Belfast line all h...

Thanks MT.

Scrap

The Saudia 744s are TF-AMS and HZ-AIX


ASI / D-site apron

The Saudia 744s are HZ-AIV and HZ-AIY (both have the single letter of their regn on the forward fuselage under the cockpit . 'AIV also had full regn. visible on its starboard side))

Arriving today is ex-Swiss RJ100 HB-IXX - reportedly for parting out and scrapping.

Arrival covered on the airport's social media page.

Another RJ was reported as being air-tested today - identity as yet u/k

According to FR24, it arrived at approx 1230 local as ALK4001 from Shannon.

Visible on the airfield Webcam parked on H-Site - all white

On 11.07.15, Maltatripper reported that airframe as 'EI-IXA'. Think it still bears its Italian regn I-BIXA

Showing up on the airfield webcam parked on D-Site is the very recent arrival from Cardiff of ex- BA 747 G-BNLZ. Notified by our good friends of S.W.A.G. as arriving for scrapping.

Fitting that this British stalwart should end her days in the UK, instead of Victorville.

Was there on the same day. G-CELC (it was definitely an ex- Jet-2 c/s) was nose-in, deep in hangar H2 (the one nearest the control tower). Without a nose cone. hangar H1 (the furthest one away) contained the B737 N216AP - positioned tail-in & looking fairly intact - , plus unidentified light singles...

Many thanks.

NP. Sorry for a silly question.... which airframe has those markings? no trace on any databases I can access. Ta.

Aha, sorry for the red herring....that'll be the ex-St. Athan Airbus A321 F-WTDG (if the stripes were what you see in this photo; https://www.flickr.com/photos/15110856@N02/12873692513/ ). That was inside the furthest hangar from the tower last time I saw it. The other striped A320 EI-DEZ did look a...

She arrived on the 09th April. N176SG was until recently parked on the old North Apron, close to the Chevron RJs - as per photo above. About a week ago, it was moved and was visible via the airfield webcam parked up at D-site, with hatches open. It's no longer visible on the webcam and a very recent...
