Sycamore

I too am worried about Sycamore, there are nine companies involved in aircraft recycling in the UK, these being:

Aircraft Recycling Ltd [KLM UK Engineering] (Norwich) **
Air Salvage International (Kemble)
Apple Aviation (Newquay) **
ATC Lasham (Lasham)
Caledonian Aviation (Prestwick) **
eCube Solutions LLP (St Athan) **
GJD Services (Bruntingthorpe) **
Sycamore Aviation (Durham Tees Valley)
United Recovery & Recycling (Manston) **

Those marked ** set-up after or at the same time as Sycamore (all bar two - GJD Services may have been before) and sadly for us every single damn one of them boasts better facilities. Not sure if the Manston outfit are still trading given that airports closure.

I hope they get something soon as for us they're the goose that lays the golden egg, but as you can see, it's become a very overcrowded market in the last two years. No activity whatsoever around the hangar of late.
