Passing Kemble Yesterday

[interestedparty]

Noticed the following - any ideas on the provenence and futures of these a/c?

1 Britannia (I think) White paint. Does this fly?
3 DC10 (10s?)
2 BAE 146
1 high wing twin turboprop being serviced (F27/ATR?)
1 747 presumably being scrapped.

Interestedparty,

Info you sought...

1. She was the last flying Britannia - permenantly grounded now. Owned by the Britannia Preservation Trust. Her last flight was into Kemble - ijncluded a very low pass. She is ex-RAF and believe the plan is to repaint her as such (think partially done already). Also believe she is to be kept live.

2. The DC.10's (all ex-My Travel including G-DPSP) I believe are for scrapping as is the F-50. There seems to be a fair bit of old airliner processing here now. The 747-200 is ex-Air Atlanta TF-AFC

3. The 146's (ex-Meridiana) are I-FLRA & I-FLRO and are both stored.

Hope that helped..
