pics 1 and 6 not visible - thankfully! :))

so, I'm guessing that the Ten on pallets is a Gulf Air (looking at the livery) - I've never figured out though, how did they get there? were the ex-BOAC/BA/GA Standards flown into Brize - with the ones for K2 conversion flown straight to Filton?

i know what happened with the ex-BA and ex-EAA Supers (Abbingdon and Prestwick) but what about the others?

as for poor old 806, we passed her today and i noticed that she's looking a little sorry now - what's the plan for her then?

:(( in general!

definitely 1 and 6 missing - the very first one and the one immediately after you've said "More from Saints.."
