Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VYOU lining up on runway 27L at Heathrow. The long foreground is intentional to add a bit more airport atmosphere to the picture. TZ30_P1050490CE

Virgin Atlantic A340-600 G-VNAP 'a big virgin atlantic thank you' titles approaching runway 09L at Heathrow. AP was brought back into service in early 2018 after around three years in storage at Tarbes, France. Formerly named 'Sleeping Beauty', she is now named 'Sleeping Beauty Rejuvenated'. The re-introduction to service of AP was, together with the acquisition of 4 A330-200s, the Virgin Atlantic response to problems with engines on the B787-9 Dreamliner. 200_3_P1060312C

Withdrawn Air France A340-300 F-GLZH at Cotswold Airport. TZ30_P1040594

The scene at Cotswold Airport changes steadily over the months and is well worth periodic visits. To me it is at the same time fascinating for photographs and a shameful reflection on one aspect of the aviation world and its role in our throwaway society. Admittedly, a large part of the activity is parting out for re-use but it is shocking to see relatively modern aircraft discarded from use. In this view are (from camera) ex Air Atlanta Icelandic B747-400 TF-AAE in Saudia colours, Air France A340-300 F-GLZH, Thai Airways B777-200 HS-TJF (also marked N176GT) and another Thai B777-200 (believed to be N175GT). 200_3_P1030040

Swiss A340-300 HB-JMG (and a Turkish A320) at Tel Aviv [LLBG/TLV]. This is one of a short series snatched through my aircraft window, hence the poor quality. TZ30_P1020084C1
