Something To Cheer Ben Up....BA Boeing 737

[Garry Russell]

G-DOCU, the aircraft damaged and repaired last year has been reduced to one flight per week on care and maintenance.

31st July will see it fly to Victorville for part out and scrap.

I doubt there is a direct link as such, but there has been a new A.320 delivery recently and that might be the reason for a 737 to go and this one deemed the most suitable for whatever reason. It was thought to be a write off after the ground incident but was flown back for patch up.

Where's Victorville, Garry?

[Garry Russell]

It's where 737's and other aeroplanes go to be scrapped ...frequently

Don't know exactly other than it's in California and seems to be a sort of Kemble type place.

It has to be in the US with a name like that

Do it have winglets?

Thankfully, no. See, every dark cloud does have a silver lining.
