The scene at Cotswold Airport changes steadily over the months and is well worth periodic visits. To me it is at the same time fascinating for photographs and a shameful reflection on one aspect of the aviation world and its role in our throwaway society. Admittedly, a large part of the activity is parting out for re-use but it is shocking to see relatively modern aircraft discarded from use. In this view are (from camera) ex Air Atlanta Icelandic B747-400 TF-AAE in Saudia colours, Air France A340-300 F-GLZH, Thai Airways B777-200 HS-TJF (also marked N176GT) and another Thai B777-200 (believed to be N175GT). 200_3_P1030040

Kuwait Airways A340-300 9K-ANB approaching 27R at Heathrow. On this trip to Heathrow, there was just about half an hour of usable light left and that was already threatened by cloud when I arrived. In my last few shots of the short session the high ISO and fading light are pretty evident. 200_2_P1080463C

Swiss A340-300 HB-JMG (and a Turkish A320) at Tel Aviv [LLBG/TLV]. This is one of a short series snatched through my aircraft window, hence the poor quality. TZ30_P1020084C1
