Whereabouts and which way? Looks like one of either 5H-FJB/C/F A319s which are all at St. Athan near Cardiff for parting out. 5H-FJA is there too but due to go to Allegiant Air and 5H-FJG is at Kemble being parted out.

These cheap flights are getting ridiculous.

You'd think it would at least point the right way.

[diametric123]

It was somewhere between Bristol and Bath

Do you think somebody is buying that body bit for a cut-n-shut?

Hope the owner doesn't notice that dent in the nose before they can whop the new bit in?

To stop anything getting in there, the glass has no doubt been removed and sold, very valuable part.

Ouch! They had to scrap the six fuselages involved later.

Don't Boeing find the occasional bullet hole as the trains are used for a bit of target practice en route?

I heard a story that one company (NASA?) used to box up what they were sending across the country, and find it had bullet holes in it when they got there, so in the end they put a target on a part of the box that had empty space behind it and found that the number of Impacts on the important stuff reduced massively.
