[Discomark]

"97,861 Flight Hours" Probably due for a timing belt and possible head gasket!

[circlework]

Guess the question is ... how many other jets will all those crappy parts go into?? :eek:

After all, they don't have 'air crash investigation' for nothing, now do they!!

[scarry]

30 yrs old,must have missed the turnoff to the scrap dealers:p

One could take a test flight on the NEXT Russian Superliner demo flight.

Formerly HS-VAC

Been around the traps, but still a bloody bargain price for 270 tonnes of scrap esp since the going rate of Aluminium is around $2000 a tonne = $540 grand

PAX: 0 CREW: 0 OTHER: 0
DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT: substantial
In the early stages of its takeoff run the aircraft experiences an uncontained failure of its outer right engine #4 (GE CF6-50E2). The entire aft part of the engine which incorporates the high pressure and thrust reverser module seperates and fell to the ground where it caused unknown damage to the runway and the airport fence. The pilots successfully rejected the take-off. Post accident inspection showed debris damage to the underside of the right wing. At the time, the aircraft was operating on a positioning flight without passengers.
NOTE: the same aircraft (c/n 23056) was involved in a nearly similar occrence at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in July 2008.

Apparantly the Maintenance is done in Indonesia
Hmmm , Now where did I read about Qantas Maintenance going offshore ???

[JayBoRover]

Darn! Hope I can cancel out and get my deposit back:D.

[Davo]

I'm tempted, but they just don't have enough feedback.

[87County]

with the age of the machine factored in, could you get the cheaper "H" rego ?

[bigcarle]

before i discovered it was un-flyable i thought that this would be the ultimate mobile home ;):p, but a bit thirsty:o

[Sleepy]

Here's another shot of it.

Not sure if it would have been well maintained with that title.:Rolling::Rolling:...................... :Thump:



Geez I can remember when Qaintarse took delivery of their 300's. Seemed like only yesterday....... (1984?)

[Hall]

Ok lets pass the hat around lads. :) Should be able to get that much and a bit left over for a AULRO paint job. Would be a easy enough rebuild for any of the series crowd, they are used of working on old bangers with aluminium panels. Would it not be a great time share resource for the site. Hmm certainly would make gatherings a bit more interesting. :cool: :D Imagine the chat as one kicks a large tyre. Yes, yes mate we did get the Salisbury diff to fit was easy enough, oh and the series 2a dash cluster you donated looks good too, although the speedo seems to be out a bit.

I think it needs bigger wheels.

[sheerluck]

I'm just disappointed that they're not accepting Paypal on that auction. I would have gone for it otherwise.:angel:

$540k - $435k = $105k

@$25/hr that buys 4200 hours of labour.

20 men = 210 hr/man

8 hr day = 26.25 days to dismantle

Probably won't get much change at the end after incidentals :(

[RobHay]

Naaw! .....It is going to take 16,783 spray cans of Protec Olive Drab just to give it one coat of paint :eek: and besides it is 'Pick Up' only .....no postage registered.

Take out of that also that a fair % of that isn't aluminium or recyclable and would incur a disposal cost.

I recall seeing this on TV

MegaStructures - Boeing 747 Breakdown - HD - P1 of 2 - YouTube MegaStructures - Boeing 747 Breakdown - HD - P2 of 2 - YouTube

It was filmed in 2008

8 days
US $6.8 million dollars worth of recycling/parts.


One of their issues was disposing of hazardous waste, including depleted uranium. :eek:


Anyone got any room in their driveway?:angel:

Wow :o, that's a game changer to my equation.... hmmm

$6.8m - $435k = $6.365m less labour and diposal of useless bits is going to leave A LOT of change!

But 747's are so 1970's so I've decided to wait until the A380's hit the used aircraft lots. Actually this one would be good as it's fully optioned up with 175 million worth of extra's :o
Airbus A380 Superjumbo Private Flying Palace | LUXUO Luxury Blog (http://www.luxuo.com/super-rich/airbus-a380-superjumbo-private-flying-palace.html)

Current owner is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and he use's it to ferry his 30 wive's around to various Harrods outlets around the globe.

The depreciation is quite high so it will most likely hit eBAY sooner or later so i've set up a keyword search email :)

Can you recycle carbon-fibre? Is there a tax on that?:p

I'm tempted, but they just don't have enough feedback.Taking risks with new vendors is when you get bargains, my problem is that blue would clash with my hair colour, so I'm waiting for an ex QANTAS or Virgin aircraft.

My Mrs is annoyed enough with the 2 x 2a's on the front lawn - she would be a bit too vocal for a long time if I even suggested it...


so I'll have to pass, too. :D

[p38arover]

I wonder if I can hide it my garage like I did with the IIA?

You could always go for a blue rinse.:wasntme:

Provided your garage looks something like this.

But, like this one, you may have to leave the Range Rover and Helicopter out in the weather.

Not for me.....


it isn't a Landrover:D:D

[muddymech]

if they are smart they will have already swopped over all the lifed componets for ones that are too old to be of any value so it will be pure scrap value only.
