Heard a rumour that long term resident EL-AKJ has finally been scrapped at SEN. Can anybody confirm, any pictures of the final moments?

Thx

First cut about 3 weeks ago, with the engines being taken away:

Then, this week they chopped her up, with the last skip load leaving yesterday (Saturday 7 April) :

Yes a shame the last 707 has now gone from SEN, i saw lumps of it arriving at the smelter just 3 miles way.

Still nice to here 426 howling yesterday :D
