XW420 JP.T5 removed 6th September

[Airbus A346]

I have just been advised that the JP gate guard has been removed today and is being transported to St. Athan.
It is to be refurbished and put on display outside the GJD Aerotech offices. Great news that it is escaping the scrapman and getting some tlc after many years of neglect. Got my photo in the nick of time ☺.

It would be interesting to know what, if anything is going to replace it??

XW420 was noted on the back of a low loader heading East on the M62 near Burtonwood mid afternoon - off to its new home at St Athan.

It is hoped that enough funds can be secured to put a replica Spitfire on the gate with RAF colours on one side Polish on the other
