Boeing 747-400 ex BA
Cotswold Airport at Kemble used to be the home of the RAF acrobatic display team The Red Arrows. However, now it is perhaps more well known as where obsolete aircraft are broken up for spares.

One G-CVIB was spared and it now rests close to the restaurant/cafe as a nightclub and cafe. It means that visitors can get up close and personal with it.
