It looks like the Spicejet livery has been painted over so I am wondering if that has fallen through and they are going to EGBP (Cotswold) for storage.
Just read that N340WS/ex.VH-VUC & N799WS/ex.VH-VUA will be broken up at Cotswold by ASI.

Hard to believe as they are only 20yrs old.

Wow!
I guess they were converted at a time when capacity was needed, and this need has reduced...

Where did you read that?

RQG went to ASP recently and it was a 2005 build.

Also, I have heard that spares are problem, with a large number trashed due to their authenticity (counterfeit parts).

Spares are a huge problem with the B737NG fleet at the moment, all airlines are struggling to get parts, especially engines.
