Belfast turning and burning @ SEN

Heard today that BEPS was engine running #1 today, not long then before off to the land of OZ to join its partner in the warmth..

Hello Jamie and others,

That “wild guess” is perhaps not that far off the mark.
Is there anyone on this forum who can confirm that CL-44-0 Guppy 9Q-LCA has INDEED been sold to Heavylift Cargo Services in Australia for five-thousand-dollars and that it is the intention that she leaves Bournemouth-Hurn flying?

ANYONE who can more or less confirm this?

Don’t tell the MOD, they are so short of airlift at the moment they might even enquire if its available to use :diablo:

Heavylift went bust and the Belfast was bought by a NEWCO called Heavylift International then exported to Oz where she does a bit a cargo work there, hopefully BEPS will go out to join it although under which country of registration as GBEPS was withdrawn by the CAA in 2003
