Crazy to think that this aircraft will be scrapped with less than 20 flying hours in total.

Let’s hope a new home or owner is found first

I spotted this on Saturday(17th August) on a visit to XM496 & the Phantoms, and was intrigued why it had "AJW" (AJ Walters) on the fin. When I dug into the history, I couldn't believe such a young airframe with so few hours was now going to be "parted out"!!!.....then this video popped up this morning on my TH-cam stream......funny old world😉

[@ydmaviation]

Yes it’s almost brand new and so old

[@UKAviationMovies]

Awesome catch. I live in Tetbury and just keep missing the good stuff! 🤦‍♂ Thanks for posting

[@ydmaviation]

Thankyou

Apparently it will be stored for 6 months while they seek a new buyer. It will only be scrapped if they can't find one.

Yea I was chatting to the airfield manager.

What a waste of money
built - stored - scrapped

[@ydmaviation]

They Hope to sell before it will be RTP.

If you can get enough people to take part of the loss, it becomes easier to scrap.

[@ydmaviation]

If ……

[@mrrcassidy]

Surely it would not make commercial sense to scrap a Stuka with so little time on the airframe?

[@ydmaviation]

Who knows
