Quite a few ex Jet2 737-300's at Kemble Cotswold airfield sitting in the sun yesterday sans engines - Guess these airframes are all for scrapping.

Re the 737-700 - a good aircraft - 148 seats and it will take you with a full load from LGW to Aswan in Egypt or across the pond to Newfoundland.
Also more ideal for places like GIB SEN and JER where the -800 is not able to optimally perform.

As we know the 757 will be sorely missed - I worked with it from 1983 and saw how it developed into multi role missions and the first UK ETOPS across the pond to MCO - An irreplaceable beast - not sure if Boeing will re-develop it in it's new aircraft projects.
