I have a question. I have heard that Qantas will never scrap an aircraft on home soil. This is for 2 reasons;
1. The environmental damage is too great or unlawful. I.e. there are a lot of fluids to mop up and also depleted Uranium in the mass-balances.
2. Qantas won't allow a scrapping in Oz because its just too detrimental to their Public Relations.
If this is true, why have they let VH-EBU rot in the open in Avalon? It will obviously never fly again. Anyone know the story?
