Re: Visit 23-24/07/2014
The last remaining centre sections of ex-Vueling A320 EC-ICS were seen in the scrapping area within the last couple of weeks.
The red/blue banded A320(1) sounds like the ex-Meridiana A320 EI-DEZ - it was last seen propped up on railway sleepers, outside the nearest ASI hangar to the tower.
The other A320 is the ex-Vueling EC-ICT, which until recently was stored as a fully intact airframe, including engines and regn.
That should be the three A320s you're looking to identify.
The B743 N176SG was seen parked on the D-site apron recently, but has now disappeared from the webcam. Your sighting of it back near the Chevron aprons seems to suggest that scrapping is not yet on the cards for this airframe.

Many thanks for your help.
However, the aircraft with the Red/Blue bands has "Airbus A321" written on the rear fuselage.
Not much else visible through a gap in the hangar doors.

Re: Visit 23-24/07/2014
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 as though it was being prep'd for a road move when I last saw it - which may explain why it's gone. No reports of it moving, but I suspect it headed somewhere along the England / Wales border......
