707
5th Nov 2002, 11:01
Can someone out there clarify some infomation for me on outstanding fees, ownweship etc. There have been a number of reports on the two AFX 747 aircraft which I believe have been stationary at Manston & LHR for the best part ofthis year. There are also a number of a/c at SEN; 5N-HHH a 1-11, HZ123 and KODA Air (707's) the latter a/c used in the alleged DRugs job last October and still being heard at Basildon Crown Court. At SEN there are also two 727s abandoned to the grass area.5N-HHH has been on the same stand for a couple of years at least
My question is do airport authorities have to go through the courts to seize these questionable assets to get any compensation, futhermore some or all of these a/cs would be worth little and could the airports get engineering companies to do work on them i.e. stripping for spares when ownership may still be in dispute. There is also L-1011 G-IOII at STN that has been there for a number of years.
I would be grateful if someone can shed some light on these issues.
