Brunty's old 747 has moved - are there plans for it?

Postby Sickbag_andy » Mon Dec 24, 2012 10:52 am

I've seen an aerial pic of the old 747 at Brunty which shows it has been moved and now has it's original Olympic airways titles back on the right hand side (at least), are there some positive plans for the aircraft at last?

sorry, i meant the starboard side which had remained blue & white, it now has Olympic titles along the fuselage which seems a bit of an effort if it's due for scrapping
