First TriStar going to the scrappers

Could be, as all due out of service in the next few months. ZE706 has already gone.

I guess either ZE704 or 705 would go first as they are not the Tankers?

No. Probably ZD952.

I wonder if they will have 6 left for a retirement flypast before they go.

I ain't getting my hopes up.

there were three VC10s because it was due to be one of each sub-type.
There are also 3 sub-types of Tristar so I guess the sqn planners may consider this option too

Date has changed, was never the 21st Jan. ZD952 is the first one to go

I got a message to say that there was a "Tristar movement" at Kemble about 10:56local today - can anyone shed any light on this or is it a case of mistaken identification?
Cheers

ZE705 apparently did one circuit before heading back to BZZ

Will only be 2 sub-types by the start of March....and a C.2 is not one of them

ASI are slow then

They had the engines off one of the Air France 747s about three hours after it arrived.

I don't suppose anyone knows when the next one is due?
Thanks in advance,

Driving past Kemble today, she still looks very much complete.

I took a couple of shots earlier today and can confirm wing-mounted engines still in place, can't see anything missing re: centre engine. Positioned well for pics but needed some sun.

Just seen a picture of it at kemble, and although I couldn't be 100% sure, the No 2 engine doesn't appear to have been removed.
