Skyliner has it going to Craiova, Romania flown out by Cello Aviation, for an SX-regn.

Hot on the heels of the Vueling Airbus delivery, Skyliner reports today that; Airbus A319-112 c/n 1283 EI-DEZ Meridiana Ferried 08 Nov 2013 MPL-EGBP for part-out & scrap ex D-ANDE By the look of the current weather, suspect this will be much later in the day or maybe delayed until Sunday - CAVOK the...

"The 146s were checked and only one avoided identification which was parked next to G-CHIN."

Should be the ex- Brussels Airlines G-CHPB

CAA g-info has been updated recently showing an application for Export CofA being submitted late August, for 'processing' circa 17.09.2013.

Haven't seen the airframe recently, but it looks like preparations are underway for departure, presumably to its new home in Canada.

Our friends at Skyliner announce the next 'big blue' to arrive - initially for storage; Boeing 747-422 c/n 25379 F-HLOV Corsair International Ferried 13 Aug 2013 ORY-EGBP for storage Could be storage, could be another Atlanta spares ship perhaps? Nothing on the airfield webcams at 1645 and nothing s...

A new addition (movement courtesy Skyliner)

Looks like the last of the all-white ex-CityFlyer RJ100s will be leaving, after a couple of years parked on the field; Skyliner today reports that "BAe Avro RJ100 c/n 3369 C- North Cariboo Flying Service G-reg canx 17-18 Jul 2013, prior delivery ex EGBP. ex G-BZAZ" Checking CAA g-info, the G- reg. i...

Steve Thanks for saving me having to write all that out. I was there about 1100 and photographed everything of interest to me (with my wife's compact camera as I was on a bike). I wanted to go and see the A340 that I spent 17 hours on flying to the Falklands in Feb - very sad seeing it in the scrap...

Hi What has happened to two of the x RAF Dominies as there were six there initially ? Mark If it helps, an article entitled "All Change At Kemble" in the latest July edition of Pilot magazine features a new restoration company - C2 Aviation Ltd - who are currently restoring various military types. ...

Got to be honest, I haven't heard of that airframe being here - no sign of it in the scrapping area and I can't remember a fuselage section preserved or stored on the field with that regn. The old-MK 727 VP-CMN fuselage is still in one of the H-Site hangars being converted (into offices?), but the h...

Hi I've not heard of or seen any actual work, or plan to extend - the present runway is more than long and wide enough to accommodate the largest aircraft - B744s - coming in for part-out and there are certainly no published plans for passenger ops from there. I'd be very surprised - in the present ...

No problem, Silverfox. As for the Dominies, reports are sketchy as to whether two of the original six have actually departed. From as far back as November 2012, two were reported as 'hangared' in preparation for export flights to the USA. Certainly N19CQ was photo'd in a hangar in November '12 (cour...

What is a rolling fuselage?

My jargon for scrapped / dismantled airframes with undercarriage attached, as opposed to on blocks.

Hi A few photos on Flickr show her without any engine cores - and looking very tired - during mid-April. Could you see if she has been re-engined? I get worried when airframes 'lose' their engines at Kemble - usually means one thing......... A thought. I wonder if re-registering the whole airframe w...
