Silly question time; it says in the link that all the C-130's and associated bits "are considered unserviceable", does that mean that if they were serviced, they could be re-used, or are they just scrap metal in the shape of an aircraft?

[Kengineer-130]

Most of those frames have been dead for years, and are life-ex.. :( Had some great trips on some of those frames :{

How is it decided whether to sell or scrap airframes? Is the Nimrod scrapping more economical than making them fit for sale in similar manner?

[Navy_Adversary]

The various governments have destroyed the military to such an extent that we may has well have a new Commander in Chief.

We may as well have the RAF as a couple of Squadrons in the USAF and the Fleet Air Arm can be part of the USN.:ugh:

As the 51st state of the Union, we would have more independence than we have as a sovereign nation within the EU. Think about it, it's not such a silly idea.

Probably because of product liabilities etc, also as they are Military aircraft they will hold no Certificate of Airworthiness and indeed may need a lot of work to bring them up to civilian standards so they can be flown. Most if all Ex Military aircraft are only on Permits to Fly so are VFR only and over no built up areas etc........ so are none airworthy and hence unservicable. May end up as spares, but even that can cause problems.

Hard one that, but as there is a lot of commonality in these with their civilian counterparts or indeed other military users, they are worth more as spares than scrap..... the Nimrods on the other hand were one offs with no really usable items that would be saleable on the open market, so were worth more as future saucepans.

Hi all - what about the harriers and f3's what has happened to these? Scrapped as still a threat or harriers sold on?

Would love to win euromillions and treat myself to one!

[Valiantone]

One of the Jetstream T.2s at Culdrose was quietly scrapped the same week they started work on the Nimrods at Woodford.
