I'm gutted the MRA4 is getting the chop and as a maritime nation its got to be the stupidest decision ever made. If the public were only aware of the true cost of this I'm sure there would be an outcry.
Anyway my reason for posting in this thread is to confirm scrapping has started and all the airframes will be gone by the end of February and Woodford will close almost immediately. The airframes are being cut up into chunks that can fit on low loaders and trucked out of Woodford and disposed of at a MOD designated recycling plant. I dont know whats happening to the frames at Warton.
There are also 120 BMW Rolls-Royce BR710 engines sitting at Woodford which no doubt will go back to the manufacturers at a give away price (its only tax payers money
) to be recycled for BizJet use.
I'll post anymore info as I get it.
