heavy lift belfasts

You guys all got your concordes, we should get a Belfast back in Belfast!

Taa-Raa!!! Southend….

Thats a shame remember it well at Southend as N447T 🙁

The CL-44-O is still at Bournemouth – efforts to resurrect it seem to have been abandoned, supposedly and very sadly because there are too many AN-12s and the like available on the ad-hoc charter market at rates that would make the CL-44 difficult if not impossible to operate at a profit.

I think i read some where that the heavylift shorts belfast was used to deliver aid to areas effected by the tsunami any one confirm thins

Skymonster – A bit off the thread topic, but whats happened to the CL-44-0 ? Is it still about, airworthy etc??

Yes, Heavylift do still operate the Belfast, along side tow (I think its two!) 727-100Fs. Only one Belfast is currently airworthy although there has been work done on the one parked at Southend with the supposed aim of resurrecting it. It is based at the airline’s main base at Cairns in Australia and flys mainly around the pacific rim area.

I believe that one is operating in Australia and i think another is being prepared to join it
