First 767 for Flyglobespan (Islandsflug)

About it being in MSE alot

Total speculation but maybe it is having some maintenance from Air
Atlanta/Avia Services. They do maintenance for the Excel Airways
767s. It has been nice to see it flying around the last day or two.

It’s ferrying containers to Cardiff. Works out cheaper than road,
especially as the flights are used for training. Expect a few more
flights yet.

Found this out G-CDPT B763 GSM46T from Doncaster GSM47T to Cardiff 13:56/16:21

James

Not AFAIK. As I said the proving flight needs to be done first.

Not quite accurate. Needs to do the CAA proving flight next month before it can fly pax flights.
Also there’s a large number of containers at GLA with GSM on the side.

Wasn’t it due to do a pax flight to Malaga (Or a Spanish resort) last Wednesday 12 Apr? Info passed to me is that it was, but was unable to do so due no baggage containers.

Hi all the last couple off days we had G-CDPT – Globespan 767 at manston don’t know the reason for it beening here but I found out

James

Will just have been doing training flights most likely. Doing a grand tour of the UK….

Q. The reason for all the UK training for the GSM B767 and not yet in service?

A. A/C was delivered without baggage containers!

In this case, not an excuse but fact………..honest

Uh oh, gets sniff of Air Scotlandism at GSM :dev2: :diablo: 😀
RYR will be kicking themselves!! that would be a great excuse to add to their huge list of excuses (British Rail,leaves on track, better watch out 😀 )
Good post, Jethro.

Aircraft flew past my window yesterday so still must be doing training here at MME.

this is the first i heard of this, anyway the hanger too small for a 767-300, it can only hold 2 757’s and i dont think there do painting, the jet2 fleet go to bucharest (Hungry) for painting normally

RIPConcorde: Finally! Excellent. It’s not Islandsflug(not sure why the photo says that? it’s wrong anyway), it’s ex Air New Zealand, as shown by the reg. There’s something about those g’s on the tail, they seem to be problematic so they have a specific company do it. They might be getting it done where they got the B738s done recently. Not sure where that is though, think it’s Southend, or it might have been Humberside. All the B738s now have them on the tail though. Should be at GLA in the next week or two, might have to make a trip over in the summer!

Hi

Globespan’s Boeing 737-300’s have been mentioned as getting there tails done down here at Leeds/Bradford Airport by Multiflight. Several times the Globespan/Channex machines have visited for mantaince. As all Jet2.com Boeing 737-300’s have there worked carried out here as well.

The newer Boeing 737-800’s have had there tails done at Humberside airport. I Don’t know the company who owns that new hanger though. Air Humberside might know though!

Hmmm, not bad looking but I agree, a few g’s on the tail would make it look better.

Well that should be entertaining – watching the arrival and departure of a 767-300, that is! Wide body at SEN – can’t recall any in the past?

Andy

Surely Southend isn’t the only place in the UK capable of applying a transfer ? I’m sure I saw a couple of chaps on a ladder do something similar to the Air Holland/Air Scotland 757 at GLA a few years ago ?

AFAIK the G’s will be painted in Southend.

Here’s another shot of GSM’s ‘new’ 767 and Sandy’s rendition of the full livery…. 😀

Is NZ getting rid of all their 763’s slowly but surely? They don’t have any 762’d left, do they?

They own five 763’s and lease two, all the 762’s have gone from the fleet

Errr check the reg 😉

ZK-NCN = ex Air New Zealand 😀
