As Kemble is on my weekly shopping route, passing today I noticed a few changes through the Belfast scrap area:-
The KLM 744 and the BA One World 744 are now piles of scrap waiting to be containered away. Amongst the debris is a 319 but I cannot remember which one. The A340 and Finnair 319 are in the scrap compound and look soon to be chomped.
I think there is only one Turkmenistan 717 left; the other three have been chopped.
North Apron has had a reshuffle with a Corsair 744 now in prime position for moving to Belfast; then two Atlanta 744s with Negus having been moved to the 31 end right opposite LTTE.
Three Norwegians (the red ones) are on Delta; the white one was being moved around the hangar pans.
Hopefully this might help if people are out and about a bit more from next week; any specific queries I will try and address idc.

Update to the update....one of the BA 744s from 31/13 (Charlie taxiway) has moved into the Belfast scrapping area; the A340 is now on Charlie beside the A429 and the Air Italy and Jet Time 73s that were on Charlie beside the 429...are now on the hangar pans.

Graham,
Thanks for your updates on the Airfield. Can i ask about AV8, are they open and serving food & drinks? I believe you said that the Airfield is closed to visitors on Sunday & Monday. I would like to visit to get a photo of the Britannia and some of the stored A/C. Then grab a drink/food before leaving.
Stew.

Kemble...bit of a riddle. Flying-wise, it is open Tuesday through Saturday for based aircraft , training and commercial flying (very little of the latter!!). Visiting-wise...closed. Closed to visitors by road and GA visitors by air.
The intention seems to be that on 4th May, it will be open to GA visitors by air on PPR.
18 May, it is supposed to open for road visitors/the general public. AV8 will open on 18 May. I assume that despite this...it will still be closed Sundays and Mondays. This much is unclear.
Much will depend on the Covid position.
As for logic....your guess is as good as mine! I will say no more.
