In the process of getting scrapped after many years as the airport firemen's plaything. Only the cockpit section escaped melting down. It was going to be turned into a glamping pod.

Aeroposta was a short-lived Argentinian airline who operated this 1970-vintage 747 for only around six months. This airframe was later converted to a freighter, ended its active days with Polar Air Cargo as N852FT, and became the fire service trainer at Prestwick for 15 years, finally being scrapped in late 2017.

This ex-united frame went to Polar Air Cargo in March 1995. It was withdrawn from the fleet in March 2002 and stored in Polar colours with titles and logos painted over. It acquired these fake MK colours for an anti-terrorism training exercise. After its completion the markings were painted over and it then became all white. Alas, outside in the Scottish weather took its toll and the frame was rendered unsafe so scrappage followed in September 2017.

This old 741 was originally delivered to United in August 1970 as N4712U. It then went to Pan Am and flew with them as as 'Clipper Tradewind' until December 1991. Periods with Aeroposta and Kabo Air followed until freighter conversion and delivery to Southern Air Transport in March 1994. The plane was finally re-registered in March 1995 when it went to Polar Air Cargo as N852FT. It was withdrawn from the fleet in March 2002 and used as a training aid/film prop before the Scottish weather rendered it unsafe and scrappage followed in September 2017.

PIK's resident 747 starting to look her age. Parked over on the North apron she was quite exposed, to the extent that a storm blew off half her rudder. Scrapped in 2017.

This Polar 747-100 was retired from service at Prestwick and this shot of it was just after it's registration and Polar titles were painted out, a little after this the four engines were replaced with ones that were unusuable and this aircraft is now used for training purposes and as a prop for film and Television work.
