This long time ‘resident’ fuselage departed the Cosmic Scrapyard today for a new home on an industrial estate in Brislington, Bristol.

After beaching herself briefly on the A429 outside F site, she sped on her way at a fair lick, last seen belting through Kemble village towards Cirencester.

Not much else to talk about around these parts!

Goodness me, I thought she would be at Kemble forever!

Yes...there have been many stories about her....she almost became the new Kemble party plane...but that is now Negus!

Last time I was on board, she looked great inside. Really plush and comfortable. There was a plan to hire her out for corporate events (small ones). Never quite worked out.

Still...she has had more than a few hours in the limelight today.

Here are some photos of her move from the wiltsglosstandard website. Note that it does say "747".....

Hi All , as I turned on my laptop the MSN page had two sets of video of the 727 road trip . Well worth a look . It shows how a simple left turn becomes a major exercise and an ambulance just got past ! Chrisj
