Queue of 747s waiting to be dismantled at Kemble airfield- it’s quite a sad sight
Not necessarily dismantled....they often get converted to cargo. My uncle is doing a bunch of A330s at the moment.
Passenger planes spend most of their life in the sky and fuel is their biggest cost. Cargo planes do one or two flights a day and spend 80% of their life on the ground, so it's more cost effective to buy old passenger planes and stomach the higher fuel cost.

Maybe but Air Salvage International, who describe themselves as “A world leader in aircraft disassembly " are housed at Kemble
Noticeable that, for whatever reason they're not flying, the two at the front are gliders

Well, that'll learn the kids over the back not to hoof their football over the fence....

My neighbours done that a few years back when pissed, with an expensive leather ball.... they didn’t want to come round really late/pissed to get it back.
My dog is odd, in that there's no frenzied ripping the ball apart. Instead she uses both paws to hold the offending object still then slowly and methodically rips it to shreds. Does it with tennis balls, sticks and, now, footballs.
I think she's some sort of psychotic, sadistic serial killer in dog form.

Our Chewie does that to any toy he's given, even Staffie proof ones. The only thing thats survived is a 2ft wide seriously hard plastic ball. It drives him mad when we get it out in the garden for him, I've never heard a dog make such terrifying sounds as when he's trying to shred the ball. It gets run into at warp 9, wedged into corners and gnashed to death. Screamed at, battered and generally abused, it looks like its been attacked with a disc cutter its gouged so bad but it still holds up. We actually limit him to 30 mins or so with it as he's so noisy in frustration at its lack of destruction we're worried the neighbours think we're torturing him.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."
