Sort of a shock to see her this way.

If it had been chopped up I am sure there would be pictures ! It will take a long time to strip it out properly to get the best return for the parts. I hope they mean it WILL be dismantled ? |

Aircraft dismantling definition: "The process comprising all the activities required to make it possible to recycle materials from an aircraft." Aircraft disassembly definition: "The process comprising all the activities required to remove all the valuable components from an aircraft, which can be re-used in another aircraft." The latter meaning "Chopping up" - "The Axe". |

I was referring to the quote in FabienA380 post that said "The first Airbus A380 has been dismantled"Has means already done  |

There is not even any mention of a place where the process would have been performed. So, in all likeliness, either the aircraft is still stored, or the work is in process somewhere. |

The Guernsey registration 2-DRPA was cancelled late November. Has it been scrapped or are there any (very) recent sightings?
