Skyliner is reporting G-MONR is on it's way to TUP for part-out and scrap, and a MON A320 will join her.
What a great servant she's been to Monarch. Presume the other three will follow soon.

It was based at Gatwick and the ferry flight from LGW-LTN was done with the landing gear down for the flight as they couldn't retract it! Good ol Monarch A300's! I will miss dispatching them when they are gone

Too bad, I hope I would still some day get chance to fly on an A300, I hope some airlines will keep operating them for a few more years so I might get a chance to travel on one after I have finished my studies.
I remember spotting G-MONR in CFU while waiting for our Finnair holiday flight to refuel for flight to Helsinki.

Quoting Carmelo (Reply 11): When will the other A300s leave the fleet?
G-MONR has just been retired, G-MONS will be retired at the end of the summer 2013 season, the other 2 (G-MAJS / OJMR) at the end of the summer 2014 season.

What a shame! I had a great flight on MONR last year. The legroom was horrific, but the powerful take-off from LTN was well worth it!
It will be a sad day when her sisters leave the fleet in 2014, one less type to grace the European skies and one more type to be replaced by the 320 family.

I flew MONR way back in 2000 - to MBA. Over 300 of us crammed in, it was a memorable journey. By chance, i took the same aircraft last October from PMI to LGW opting to sit in the front section. Lovely flight, very comfy. Certainly glad I got to fly on one of these... piece of history almost gone.

Looks like G-MONR made it into Luton yesterday evening, though it would seem G-MPCD is still in Brussels. Any word on updated departure information to the US for both?

G-MONR as of 40 Minutes ago was in the process of getting ready, looked like they were about to fuel but the Flight deck were onboard, the ETD I was told was 1400, as of now it has not gone from what I have seen.
