Technoavia SMG-92 Turbo Finist HA-YDF c/n 001-05 was built in 2000. This attractive aircraft is used for parajumping and is currently operating from the nearby airfield of South Cerney. It is shown here parked by the Tower at Kemble. The Finist is a rugged all metal aircraft designed in Russia and the type was first flown in the 1990s. The aircraft is built at Smolensk, Russia before being fitted out to SMG-92 spec by Aerotech at Bratislava, Slovakia. This aircraft is fitted with a Walter M601D-2 turboprop.
The storage and scrapping of retired airliners continues with pace at Kemble. Since my last visit at the end of May 2010 it was good to see A300 EI-OZA now parked away from the scrapping area and apparently complete near the Middair hangers. Inside these hangers was the newly arrived ex JAT Boeing 737 YU-AOS.
F-GFKN Airbus A320 c/n 128 in the process of being scrapped at Kemble. This former Air France airliner was built in 1990 - it arrived at Kemble on 22nd April 2010 from Paris CDG after 20 years of short haul operations across Europe.
