It is all a bit dramatic. I recall at STN when ATL renoved the nose wheels from Donaldson's International 2 x 707's redsplendent in new ELAL livery. In those days there was also a 'lien' is that the word taped on the door warning of dire consequences if the a/c was touched.

The aircrafts surely belong to the lessors or the banks and the debts are now the responsibility of the administrators. I imagine the a/c will be moved to storage at Lasham and Southend asap, it would seem that they will be parked for a while as there would appear to be little if any work for them unless the lessors offer deals at silly prices.

Nothing much changes does it, I do not suppose those at the top will be out of pocket, the last 40 yeasr has seen them rise from the ashes usually without much delay with another money spinning outfit

Reading the on-line papers it appears that clearly to position the A330's out of harms way there was more than a little skullduggary.
