When scrapping an airliner the fuel tanks must be drained and vented,mind you when i was at Stanstead scrapping Trident 3B G-AWZU my mate thought the tanks were drained alas not……then up it went.The Stanstead fire service chaps came and put it out and said that they had been asking the management if they could burn it for years……in the end around a ton and a bit of alloy burnt.
Very nice,maybe i should go to Tesco more often (without the wife and kids) lol
After going around on 23R, G-ECOI landed on 23L with fire trucks in attendance. Taxied in, no problem.
I spoke to the skipper,he had a faulty landing gear indication (down locked) in the end it was a bulb at fault.
Thanks for you comment’s gents,here are a couple more.:D


Sadly this 757 was a bit too far out of range,and it was throwing it down..
Hopefully have some more later on..:)
