sad picture :cry:

They've not gone yet!!!! And, I guess Bulgaria is just a few hours away on an A320/B737!

Yeah it is a bit of a waste, we could use them here, a view that's also shared by many others here I guess.

That's true, but there were no takers. Porterbrook cut three to push the potential buyers, but there still weren't any......and now they are all but gone.

 

[87031]

Looking at the total fleet list now all the remaining 87s at long marston are down to go to Bulgaria apart from 87031 which is stored. It was used in a training scheme but has anyone got any ideas what next?

018/027 were expected to be used for spares aswell, "the Wolf" is well robbed so I can't see it being resuscitated but perhaps 031 has saved 018? Only guessing mind and anything could have changed since I last discussed this!

18....quite well robbed, blown transformer, scrap tyres. Only thing of any use on 27 is the wheels.
