Withdrawn Air Atlanta Icelandic B747-400 TF-AAE in Saudia colours (the last airline to which this aircraft was leased) at Cotswold Airport. Also of note are the steps with the words 'Royal Air Force Brize Norton' painted over. TZ30_P1040597R

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
