Could be, as all due out of service in the next few months. ZE706 has already gone.

I guess either ZE704 or 705 would go first as they are not the Tankers?

I wonder if they will have 6 left for a retirement flypast before they go.
I ain't getting my hopes up.

there were three VC10s because it was due to be one of each sub-type.
There are also 3 sub-types of Tristar so I guess the sqn planners may consider this option too

I got a message to say that there was a "Tristar movement" at Kemble about 10:56local today - can anyone shed any light on this or is it a case of mistaken identification?
Cheers

Will only be 2 sub-types by the start of March....and a C.2 is not one of them

ASI are slow then
They had the engines off one of the Air France 747s about three hours after it arrived.

Driving past Kemble today, she still looks very much complete.

I took a couple of shots earlier today and can confirm wing-mounted engines still in place, can't see anything missing re: centre engine. Positioned well for pics but needed some sun.

Just seen a picture of it at kemble, and although I couldn't be 100% sure, the No 2 engine doesn't appear to have been removed.
