Yep 30+ due, mainly A319/20 whilst the A321's go to Madrid. I'm told the BEA retro A319 will remain active for now at least.

Makes sense for GLA to try and get as much income as possible. They'll probably only need to use 6 or 7 gates max this winter at any one time

I gather upwards of 20 x A319's are scrapper bound in the coming weeks. The question I would suppose is where exactly will that happen ?

I saw that mentioned on Flyertalk. It may be that BA are going to scrap the A319's that are due for retirement in the next year or so early.

As for where they would be scrapped, probably one of the usual places - St Athan, Kemble, Newquay, Ciudad de Real. However they are all pretty much at capacity at the moment.

If the A319 retro jet is to be retired, I would like to see either the transport museum or the museum of flight in Edinburgh putting in a bid for it. Transport museum would be good.

There are currently 16 BA Airbuses parked between stands 34 and 37. More aircraft currently enroute from LHR.

In addition A321 MEDJ is on stand 38 and is the only long term resident still present on this side of the airfield.

G-EUXG is off to Madrid today.

Another B777 freight flight from Kuala Lumpur this morning

G-YMMP just departing for Heathrow 1000L

UUK and UUB arrived from LHR this morning. UUK is on 40 and UUB tail towards the hangar next to it after being towed from 33. MEDJ had been moved to behind NEOW.

My mate is fetching up another Airbus from LHR later today, and taking one back to LHR tomorrow.
