It breaks my heart to see the lineup of 747-400s at Kemble, never to fly again :( Same with the Jet2 757-200s and 737-300s, I grew up seeing them very often at Leeds Bradford, but those days are sadly just about over now.
The fuselage at 7:42 has been purchased by a wealthy businessman (Johnny Palmer) and is now in Bonville Road, Brislington, Bristol and is in the process of becoming business offices! He apparently paid around £100,000 for the fuselage in 2018 but it has taken 2 years of planning to get the plane to its new location.
I used to work next door to Kemble AF, especially into the spring/summer months would see the classic Fighters flying about, great if you'd timed your lunch break for a free air display.
It would be amazing if they could sell them off and make some cash from it. I went to a restaurant in the Czech Republic which was in an old airplane. Very cool!
I'm sad. I wanna save them from that horrible scrapper. Imagine how painful it must be for those planes. How would u feel if u were a plane and had to go through that. LET'S STOP THE PAIN.
It’s a sad sight. Can I ask where exactly is this filmed from as I was going to visit on Saturday but due to a bad accident on the M4 I didn’t make it... thx

It's weird seeing how much everything as changed in such a short space of time!

That's really interesting, thanks for the update on that!

I can imagine!
Literally the backbones of long haul travel for decades, it breaks my heart! Will travel ever be the same again? ✈️😭☹️
We shall have to see!
Good video nice to see G-CELY
Indeed it was!

That would be amazing. Yeah it's interesting to see people using old aircraft like that!
You can buy bits of these 747 from ASI (air salvage international) they are based at Kemble
Nice one mate! Really want to go to Kemble one day
Thanks mate!
Didn’t know this existed until i drove past it the other day. Ive never been so spontaneously excited 😂
It kind of just appeared out of nowhere in the countryside when i went 😂
Airports just aren't the same anymore without 747's. Very tragic.
I agree!

There's no pain involved here. And most of the materials from the aircraft get re-used. So its actually a very beneficial process
@@AviationUpclose really even the WINDOWS.

The first half of the video is filmed from the A429. The rest is filmed from inside the airport
@@AviationUpclose i dont wana be rude but 500 747s are active
Have you passed your ppl yet ? Good video btw
Thanks mate! Yeah I have, just waiting for the CAA to post my license!
@@AviationUpclose Excellent, well done ! How old are you and what airline do you want to be flying for ?
Thanks
Ideally Jet2 mate

Are they for Sale or waiting to be scrapped?
I mean some of them like the JT 737-700s looks to be in very good condition,
I think some of the aircraft are for storage as well
I hope that jet 2 757 isn’t being scrapped
Some of them will be staying in the fleet for a few more years
Why are many of the cargo door open?
Just how they've been left
Nice
Thanks!
So sad to see all those planes...
Indeed. Very interesting though!
surprised to see Indigo among them
Absolutely!
A truly sad location for a TRUE aviation fan.
It's definitely an interesting experience!
So very sad; a Jumbos graveyard. Let’s hope some do fly again.
I heard Rossiya were looking at taking some
I dont wana be rude but 500 747s still exist
Doesn't really make any difference to me. I found it interesting seeing the ones being scrapped there
Some commentary would have been good
Something to consider!
looking for a old pice of aircraft as a suvineer anny boddy can help me
There's definitely a few places only for that!
