Nice shot’s there,One from me…..at the AVP MA preparing for mass divert’s!! (that didnt come)
Was told about Open Skies by a BA employee…………………i cannot name!
Ren, BA are dropping Open Skies!
Thanks for all your comments,here is another piccy……….off to the ramp now,hopefully a A380 divert this mornin??:D
Why have they been retiring their models, then?
V old ie 1983 aircraft MONB,MONC,MOND thus far for Fed Ex (MONC part out and scrap) along with MOND the others will be converted into freighters.Bearing in mind Fed Ex want 90 757’s to replace 727’s.
G-MONB awating her flight to the US for conversion…………….
and ex Tommy Cook………..
You were quick of the mark mate! I was busy waiting for the SIA 380 that was on the verge of diverting in this morning!
You know me Mr P,you pased me in your van this morning about 0710am im sure!!:D:D
Question; I’m guessing you work at the airport with shots like that, what’s your job title. If you don’t mind me asking
Matt, yes i do work at the airport (ramp rat) in the morning 0500am-0900am and AVP during the day..:D
BA have a whole fleet of 11 757’s for disposal if they are interested.
That will help Monarch they are 4 757’s short……………….:D
Maplin Sands was muted in the 1970’s and guess what……………………………………………….nowt came of it,all pie in the sky so to speak!!:rolleyes:
Thanks chaps.:D pleasure to share images.
I thought I saw somewhere that both ends of the hangar lift up during the day if the weather’s suitable? Maybe I’m wrong though..Trident Man is your best bet to know!
Thanx Matt……………once insdie OAC will stay inside,the front of the building will have glass,so the aircraft will be viewable.;)
Here is my tuppence worth from this morning……..very early i may add…:D

As a matter of interest, what will happen to them?
Happen to what?
Very nice! Are they going to close up the front and back, or leave it like that just for protection from the elements?
Yes,the gable ends will put on during the rest of this week.
Yep,lots of planning etc,by the way im in the middle under the aircraft in the white hat and blue clothing……………………………………………………
Piccy from me too…..
