We were asked to help scrap a DC-10 aeroplane, which used to belong to the Dutch Air Force.

The plane, which made its last flight into Newquay Airport, had been decommissioned following its service.

Before we went on site, all parts that could be reused were removed and sent away for processing.

With the help of DRS Demolition we took just a day and half to dismantle the plane, load on to our trucks and leave a clear site.
