I visited Kemble again Monday 11th Dec, cold and snowy ! There seems to have been an influx of A319s ! M-ABJE msn 1256 arrived fri 8th Dec and so did 5H-FJD ex Fastjet msn 2268, two arrivals In about 30 minutes. Also TU-TSN msn 1429 ex Air Cote D'Ivoire 17yrs old and now minus engines, so scrap it is ? Why don't you visit in the summer ??......  M-ABJE: said to become D-AXTI. 5H-FJD: don't know. TU-TSN: can confirm the axe. |

Here is a promo video for Cotswold Airport "Events" ! It's clips are taken from the last 2-3 years, I would not normally post this but it's
Worth it for the airiel shots, gives a good view of the airfield. Most of the complete frames in the video are now no more !

TU-TSN: can confirm the axe. Bad news from Kemble this pm. M-ABJE, 5H-FJD A319s both now minus engines, PK-KSC atr72 has also lost its engines in the last 4 weeks, bye bye all  I will post some General pictures from Kemble later, F-GLZH A340 now being chopped up aswell. Good news - there were 3 B52s and 2 U2s 10 miles away at Fairford, that cheered me up  |

M-ABJE, 5H-FJD A319s both now minus engines...... It then looks like M-ABJE will be the first narrow body ACJ to meet the scrapper.... |

Well planespotter writes DUE and to become D-AXTI - stored 8DEC 2017 so she might continue to fly The 5H-FJD seems to go to the scrapper as the other A319 from FastJet did - probably the technical service they got in Tanzania was not the best one. She is MSN 2268 so such a MSN elsewhere remains in operation  |

Here is a shot from today at Kemble, Site H, where they strip the frame of all its valuables, inc engines, before towing it away in a month or so to the scrapping area.  |
