727 Meets It's Fate...

VP-CMN 727-46 (ex-MK Airlines) made it's final trip today, sadly by road, from Filton to Kemble where it will be broken by Air Salvage. Just a few photos of the journey...

Thanks! :). They better be quick, it's already on the Belfast apron for breaking! - Don't think there will be too much left of it, was stripped for parts for VP-CMO a couple of years ago, and then presumably stripped further to reduce the weight for it's journey to Kemble.
