Civilian Aviation

so a briefish drive from Seething for our rendezvous with Mark (AirbusA320) for a run round Norwich starting with the storage area. I said briefish journey and a word of warning - if your sat-nav isn't up to date it won't show the new northern bypass and you will end up lost - we did. Sat navs don't operate across fields and rivers!

anyway we got there in the end so here's the storage area occupied by several ex Saudia Embraers, an Arik 737 that needs a good clean, 2 Fokker 70s and 3 BAE.146s, I won't post pics of all of them but they are in my Flickr album

thanks to Mark for taking the time to show us the vantage pointsand nice to meet up at last, next stop was Northrepps and time for me to finally meet another forum regular, Mike Burdett

Andy

Most welcome
Glad you got some good shots
Mark

thanks Mark and yes I did.

I took over 500 photos during the day at the 6 airfields we visited, took a bit of time to go through them.

Great shots Andy, looks like you had a good trip round East Anglia!!!
Nice to see so many types still at Norwich, definite bonus with the Hawk
Jon

Are they all for scrap or just stock ? Nice shots anyway !

The ex Saudi Embraers are reportedly for scrap. The Fokkers are for rework prior to delivery to a new Australian operator whilst the RJ85s are for storage.
