A big bird flew over Bridgend today.
According to Plane Finder it was a 747-436, BAW9156A, G-CIVV

Do you think the airport is likely charging for storage of these or are they a courtesy of BAMC?

 

[Seasider]

I would imagine they will be charging them at a discount rate.

I'd imagine that the ones stored on BAMC aren't being charged for but the ones on Echo, stand 15/16 and stand 6 are, no doubt at mates rates.

Note:
- B788 (G-ZBJF) arrived today, not on the 21st as I reported then.
- B772 (G-YMMU) which arrived on the 17th and was assumed to be stored departed this evening back to LHR.

I expect G-YMMU took all the flight staff back to LHR.

Not sure CWL has the room for more heavies.

 

[mathers_wales_uk]

2 more into BOH by the days out. I think there should be more room if they utilised BAMC apron fully.

 

[StanMan]

The BBC published a flythrough video today Here showing stored airliners at a few UK airports. Amongst the airports shown was Southampton...with the only aircraft shown being Flybe Q400's.
In terms of airports financial stability, which is better: parking fees for some months for genuinely stored airframes or the value of impounded airframes that may or may not have any buyers in the future?

After 13 1/2 hours of flying it's now on the ground.
