Ex-MYT DC10s

The three ex-My Travel DC-10-10s were at Kemble, Glos for several months. One has now disappeared. Anyone know who is operating it and where?
Will the other two follow?

None seems to carry a registration, so I don't know which one has gone.

All three have been sold & registered in Swaziland. The first two were initially flown Kemble - somewhere in Libya & all three now carry female names on the nose (I think one was named Caron)

Does anyone know the history of the 747 that is being broken up at Kemble at the moment?

I believe these airframes where purchased by the ex myt tech director for a song and are to be used to transport mine workers. Interesting where they not due a d check as well?.

Nothing to get excited about, the 747 is/was Air Atlanta, TF-ATC.

I see that the DC-10, painted as an Oriental Airlines airframe, was used as the ac on ITVs 'Ultimate Force' on Sat 9 Jan.

I would say that attracted quite a bit of revenue for those who operate Kemble as a business.

Nice video of the last one (I think) taking off on a wet low cloud November 2004 day with a low pass before disappearing into the murk.
The fictitious airline title on the one in "Ultimate Force" was ORIENTAL AIRWAYS. From what I understand the film crew were there for a full day back in the early summer if I recall.

Forgot to say the video is at www.pilotgroundtraining.com

I saw KN (ex Cougar) in a local Tesco's last week who says he is having the ex MYT -30 (and crews) to operate for Globespan??? We shall wait and see.

Cost of the aircraft is approx £3.5 million he must have saved a lot of money not paying his crews when Cougar went bust
