Biplanes not really my thing, late 30s to 70s my particular interest, but thought this might be something a bit ‘special’ to those in the know.

Is that the Victor that 'accidently' tried to take off during a high-speed taxi run a few years ago, at Bruntingthorpe IIRC? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanllan Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I snapped this, Evektor EV-97 EuroStar, earlier today while out for a walk. I presume it was heading for Holmbeck Farm airfield. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Made me think about the lightning, with an engineer sat in it, that accidentally selected full reheat and took off. he managed a circuit and landing to his credit, which is no mean feat . think that’s the one at duxford now 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PMP Posted July 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2020 I expect a good few of the -400’s will find new life as freighters, and as spares sources for the existing world fleet. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Europe's equivalent to the American desert aircraft boneyards, Teruel airport in Spain. Located just over mid way between Madrid and the Mediterranean coast. Since the Covid-19 crisis hit, Teruel has played host to a number of "fairly young" A380's (Lufthansa and Air France) and A340-600's (Lufthansa) which have been withdrawn from use. British Airways sent 5 of its 31 747-400's there, which are probably never to fly again and will be scrapped there. Video posted yesterday. Watch in HD at full screen and pause at will, to take in what's stored there. . 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2020 Was that a South African 787 in there? I knew people had been retiring 747, 777, A340 and A380 but don't recall anyone parking up 787's before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew people had been retiring 747, 777, A340 and A380 but don't recall anyone parking up 787's before. Not a 787. It's an A350. In fact there are 2x A350-9's and one of their A330-200's there. You can see all 3 of them clearly if you re-run the video and pause at various points. The A350's went into service with SAA in December 2019 and January 2020 just gone, before being grounded by the pandemic in March and April. They were parked up at JNB until a couple of weeks ago, when they flew up to Spain to be put into long term storage. These are SAA's only A350's, which were originally delivered to Hainan Airlines in China, in Jan 2019, before being returned off lease in Oct 2019 and subsequently acquired by SAA. Barely 12 months total time in service !!!!!!! The A330 flew in the same day as one of the A350's. It's been in service with SAA since delivered new in 2011, but was withdrawn from use in Nov 2019 when SAA began reducing its operations due to severe financial difficulties. The airline has since gone bankrupt and has ceased operations, pending being liquidated. However a rescue package is being put together and a reformed airline is due to start back up later this year or early next. . .
