I was told at Bruntingthorpe yesterday that all six of the Tristars there are not going to be scrapped & are in fact now sold. They will be flying out of Bruntingthorpe for the states. No idea when though.

I had heard a while back that the aircraft had buyers, they are probably a good buy for someone due to how they've been kept and used.

I was pleased to hear this news to be honest. Much better than the the Bruntingthorpe scrapman getting his hands on them. I'll try & get some close up photos before they leave. There's a few airliners due in to Brunty soon as well as another 747. They are seriously running out of ramp space -

That must be the finest collection of large aircraft in the UK!
Agree about the TriStars, not sure what the RB211s are like to support these days.

Might make good fire bombers?

Has a non prop aircraft ever been used as a water bomber? just curious.

Firefighting would seem a good use for them.

As well as the DC-10 the B747, BAe146, IL-76 and Beriev 200 have been trialled or used in the role.
