Photographer’s remark
N703BA Ex PP-VRD (Varig), 7T-VKQ (Air Algerie - Khalifa Airways), G-ZZZE (British Airways). This is the first 777 to be scrapped, the APU has been removed, the batteries disconnected, and soon the engines will also be removed and sold. When all the useful parts are removed, the aircraft will be towed to its own spot on the airfield where it will remain forever, slowly being picked away as parts are needed on newer airliners still flying. Such is the fate of the modern airliner. [Canon 20D - Canon EF-S 18-55]
