H Azmal 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 For some reason these photos remind me of Pripyat (near Chernobyl). What with that ferris wheel nearby. Excellent shots, Pieter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irni Mastura 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Oh my... alpha delta alpha.. was it at a plane junkyard / graveyard? I dunno but I did slightly shudder looking at the decrepit state of an aircraft. That B707... looks like it became a 'lawn gnome', eh? Thanks for sharing Pieter, not something we see everyday.. (well unless you're one of the occupants under or around those old fuselage ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 It is a restaurant now, ..... I'm guessing it's not located at an airport ? In which case, someone would have had to spend plenty of effort (and at some cost) to dismantle the bird, shift it to the present location and assemble it back into one piece These interesting pics sure get the imagination going !

Naim 6 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 I found this puppy *outside* a museum in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, so I guess it qualifies for this thread.

Geoff R. 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2010 Here are a couple of wrecks I took photos of during a visit to Sabah at the end of 2008. First up a very rare Westland Widgeon, believed to be ex 9M-AOP, at the Chi Hwa Primary School in Sandakan. Second up is a Cherokee mounted atop the Sabah Flying Club at Keningau. Anyone know the identity of this one? Any other wrecks in Sabah? Geoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
