More of a Triple 5,1/2

Remeber some of it will end up in mobile phones!:D

Looking less like a 777 now:diablo:

You mean it’s just a 77 now:D

Whats left of the airframe will be scrapped by a 35 ton machine with a grab,then loaded into lorries and sent for processing by a huge machine called a fragger which will chew and grind even the strongest titanium parts of an A/C into pieces no bigger than 2″ then the coke can process begins so you could be drinking any of your favourite drinks fom MM.:D

So what happens to the hulk… cola cans ???

Cans, jewelery, pots, pans… all sorts. Maybe even cars.

The A/C was suspended via six hydraulic jacks, we have positioned five sleeper packs front to rear,thus on realeasing the jacks ie, lowering the A/C onto the sleeper packs for her final resting where she now sits.:eek:

Thanks Lancaster, understood.

It had no gear so it had to be resting on something.

Yes I’d rather grasped that, but Lancaster said the aircraft “is NOW on sleepers” as if this was a new thing. That’s what I was questioning.

Hi Andy, and welcome to the forum.

the a/c is now on sleepers

I thought it had been up on a stack of sleepers since beng moved to the current position.

Parted out at heathrow,

Got any photos?

Where was it parted out at by the way? It’s a real shame that it had to be one of the newer a/c written off.

Yes,parted out now, wings, lower fuse, and tail to be scrapped,its been a joy working on a nice engineer freindly a/c,we do not get many new ones,virtually nothing seized or corroded,airframe stood up well to the impact,although a lot of damage to the underside.:(

A normal part out and scrap job then.

Yes i am involved,she is just a shell now, everything stripped and gone to storage i cannot divulge to much because of the sensitive nature of the A/C .

Hi,My name is Andy, first time on forum,the a/c is now on sleepers and ready for sectioning,tail end first and then the rest working from the rear forwards not leaving much of the upper fuselage, over next three wks.:diablo:

Anything being salvaged ? Seats, instruments etc etc…

Hi Andy, and welcome aboard. Are you involved with this operation?
