Been stored at DSA for the past few weeks after finishing its PPE Charters, still it made it out of Kemble for a bit, thanks for the update nitro

Busy one today.... 3x A319-100s due in from Portugal

CS-TTH

All due in between 11:45 and 12:30 today.

All have now landed at Kemble (13:00), thanks again nitro for the updates

That makes 9 TAP A319s and A320s altogether at Kemble.

Looks like it will be reregistered with Electra Airways. (With a LZ- Reg)

The KLM B747 is now in the scrap area, and one of the BA B747 has had the tail chopped.

A340 EC-MFA and B757 G-LSAG are also missing.

Hopefully we will be out of lockdown before too many more disappear.

One of the BA B747 is now tail less, (reported to be G-CIVL). It looks as if KLM PH-BFG will soon follow.

Thanks for the links Maltatripper, it is a great shame to see the BA 747s already starting to be scrapped, when the restrictions are eventually lifted I may have to make a trip to Kemble to see the last couple before they go completely!

On a side note ex Czech Airlines/Eurowings A319 OK-NEN has reportedly been reregistered 2-ACSE.

From what I can see online, it looks like there is another TAP A319/320 due on Monday (22nd). This will be the 10th TAP aircraft to arrive at Kemble since the start of September 2020.

EDIT : CS-TTG due at 14:15.

TAP A319-111 CS-TTG has just arrived from Paris Orly as TP9740 after routing FAO - ORY - GBA.

Technically this is a 'large aircraft movement'... although it left by road!

Boeing 727 VP-CMN departed on the back of a truck today to Pytch in Bristol. Interesting coverage at the link below:

Thanks for the update and link nitro, I’ve seen this aircraft multiple times at Kemble in the past few years and it’s nice to see it find a new home!
