Dont bother with the phone call Paul...  its not there...

Hope that helps.. and sorry it took so long..  8)


"Hi Smudger - I didn't see a Cathay yesterday - just the two MKA's which are parked on the opposite side to where they are normally parked.... If that makes sense!! Don't think they have a hangar big enough to take the airframe and tail... I need that one as well!!! So hope I didn't miss it!!! "

I would think Kemble is parting out and not providing storage?

Kemble Gossip - -

"The cathay is in the middle east at the mo being stripped. I am told also that SX-DFB is due in at some point and the 2 B737-400's are going in December for freighter conversion".

Due into MAN tommorow mid afternoon from Xiamen and estimating departure at 0900 local on Sunday mornIng for the short hop to Kemble.
It's actually one of the younger 744's that CX have but due to impending D check it's being scrapped.

May have arrived this morning according to local eyewitness.
Anybody able to confirm this?
Maybe arrival was brought forward due to weather tomorrow.
