This 727 was originally delivered to Japan Air Lines as JA8325 in December 1967, later going to Hapag-Lloyd as D-AHLQ. From June 1982 the plane embarked on a corporate path as N4245S, then VR-CBE before becoming VP-CMN in March 1992. After retirement the plane was scrapped at Kemble in 2015 with the fuselage later being trucked to Brislington for use by PYTCHAir as a meeting space, event venue, filming location and micro-hotel.

This aircraft had been present when I had visited Air Salvage International a year earlier when it had been destined to be scrapped. Fitted with a VIP interior, here it has been moved from the airside for a party to be held in it. It might yet have a future as a venue for more !

Sadly this aircraft will soon have an appointment with the breakers. It is seen at Air Salvage International and seems to be carrying the nosecone from B-5092
