On 30 January 1970, the two ex-TAA Viscounts at Southend, VH-TVD & VH-TVF, were moved from the centre of the airfield to a site on the North side of the airfield (as depicted above), where they were completely stripped of all useful spares prior to scrapping. The latter task had commenced by 7 February 1970, both fuselages having been severed aft of the wing trailing edge. By 15 February the two aircraft had been reduced to a fast-diminishing heap of scrap, which had completely disappeared by 21 February 1970.
