Cotswold Airport, Kemble, Gloucestershire, UK. 27th September 2020. Several Boeing 747s and other large passenger planes are stored ready to be scrapped at Cotswold Airport at sunset. Built as RAF Kemble, Cotswold Airport has previously hosted F1 testing, airshows and even a few episodes of Top Gear. It was also home to the Red Arrows until 1983. Today it operates as a commercial airport, with several flying schools and its own restaurant Av8 which is based next to the control tower. It is also the operating base of Air Salvage International, who describe themselves as Europe's leading aircraft decommissioning company.
