Kemble

I can't quite believe that there's no Kemble thread on this forum. It's currently got more airliners 'based' than Coventry, Humberside, Liverpool, Exeter, Southend, Norwich, Gloucester, Cardiff, Blackpool, etc.

Unfortunately the said 'based' aircraft are in store. There are currently 10 BAe 146/RJs on the field (another arrived yesterday), together with 2 747s (one in hybrid Corsair/European colours arrived yesterday) and the remains of a 757 (the first 757 to be parted out, I think ex-Royal Brunei).

To say nothing of an ex- RAF Britannia 253 and what looks like an ATP. There's even an apparently airworthy Dove/Devon. If anyone knows how long the period of storage is likely to be, please post.

Previously 'based' were the three ex-My Travel DC-10s, which left for South Africa after filming an episode of 'Ultimate Force'.

Projected routes from Kemble are somewhat limited, presumably because of technical issues like no terminal, insufficiently licensed airfield, no airline stupid enough, etc. Perhaps there's an opening for Mr Halstead........
