Norwich Airport Aircraft Recycling

I’m trying to find out what the situation is with aircraft scrapping at Norwich Airport.

A couple of Avros were scrapped some months ago but a B737 tail has been visible for some weeks so not sure if it is a complete frame or partially dismantled.

KLM Engineering had the site constructed but I don’t believe they are running it anymore. I think a company called Avionicare scrapped the 2 aforementioned Avros.

Any updates would be appreciated.

The scrapping facility at Norwich is still run by KLM UK Engineering. The ex-BRA Avros that were recently parted out were carried out by a third party. The 737 tail is either VP-CCG a 737-700 or 9H-OME a 737-500, VP-CCG was due to be scrapped sometime this year but there was a debate as to, if or when 9H-OME was going to be scrapped.
That is all the details I have.

VP-CCG is the aircraft in the scrapping compound I understand. Thanks for your response
