And a shot of M-ABJE A319CJ from behind, no engines, like the others  Clear! BTW: dozens of German register reservations every year which never materialize. No doubt D-AXTI is one of them. |

It is interesting - since how much hours/cycles can the 17 Years old ACJ have !
Thanks for explanation and pictures.

A bit bizzar at Kemble today, TU-TSN A319 ex Air Côte d'Ivoire which is for the chop has been re branded with a Safran logo, just as they are jacking it up to take the undercarriage off, quite odd    |

Photos. Filming. Very likely something to do with promotion.

Photos. Filming. Very likely something to do with promotion. I thought that, but why put your logo on both sides of the aircraft ! Could they now be about to fit it with a new undercarriage ? Or one of those electric power assisted ones ? Safran was Dowty, and is still based in Gloucester, not far from Kemble ! PS it has no engines ! |

Another A319CJ has appeared at Kemble this am, N105KR MSN 1053 18.5 yrs old.
Not clear from the tweet below if they are saying they are going to sell the engines only and/or the plane itself !
