I seen the Gubby lots & lots of time operating out of Manchester years ago! I miss those day of 707's, DC-8's, 1-11's, Trident's, 737-200's, IL-62's, TU-154B/M's, TU-134s, Concorde & many more noisy classics
You can beat the Boeing Stratocruiser. Boeing & Airbus!!
Thanks for watching!

It now resides in the South Wales Aviation Museum, I went to have a look at this exact one today there and all that's left is the full cockpit with all avionics intact, and the front with number one on it. Quite a spectacular thing!

I've been catching up with whats going off at Bruntingthorpe, it's terrible 😞😞😞 No more taxiing aircraft, no more open days, aircraft laying to degrade 😯😯

[@IanLanc]

There's no mention of that Guppy on their website, no pictures either ? Can only presume it must have been stripped down & ferried to the museum but must be in storage somewhere ?? Can't have been scrapped surly it holds a piece of aviation history.

Takes me back to days aircraft spotting at Manchester Airport. Amazing how they could fly. I believe landings on icy runways were a bit hairy.

[@theaviators5920]

The good old day. I remember seeing all the Guppys at Manchester with lots of smoke!!

[@TheKilroyman]

One of 5 built. 1 remains in service, the other 4 are on display in various parts of the world, including this one.

[@theaviators5920]

Indeed!

[@trrruls]

Not anymore, this one is currently being dismantled

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

@@trrruls why are they pulling it apart for

[@trrruls]

@@TuffBurnOutTeam it was in a state of disrepair and part of it was sold to Aviationtag, who made nice keychains out of the skin!

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

@@trrruls i see
Thank you

[@ollieheads374]

Been in this one so many times, amazing plane

[@theaviators5920]

Indeed, seen this one many times at Manchester with other Guppys.

[@ollieheads374]

The Aviators unfortunately I’m not old enough to have that pleasure, my uncle watched this one land in ‘96 when he worked there!

[@theaviators5920]

Great aircraft - Boeing Stratocruiser!

[@ollieheads374]

The Aviators many say it’s ugly, but it’s a work of art

[@theaviators5920]

Indeed, would love to see her fly again. Seen all 3 Generations of Airbus transportation - Guppy | Beluga A300 | Beluga A330XL - that would be some sight all 3 in formation together.

[@mereline100]

Thanks Amigo.

[@theaviators5920]

Cheers!

[@keesvanderspek7636]

That thing can fly?

[@theaviators5920]

Yes, I seen her and many other Guppys!! From the Boeing Stratocruiser!

[@k1necorporationmedia]

I want to go it looks like a subway train

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

The plane is just going to Rot being in the weather And the tyres will just fuck out being in the mud

[@theaviators5920]

Its sad!

[@awesomeaircraft3215]

Even worse now it got scrapped!

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

@@awesomeaircraft3215 why did it get scrapped

[@planewatcher7604]

[@phongvu7154]

SUPERGUPPY

[@gerbenaviationphotography]

Frist :D

[@theaviators5920]

I seen this alot at Manchester many years ago, before the beluga came along and the moved to Harwarden!

[@tinytonymaloney7832]

WTF, is that THE ugliest aircraft ever. How do them tiny props pull it along and the tiny wings create enough lift?

[@AviationLolz]

Tbh i would say its an important plane, airbus wouldnt exsist without this
