Nice stuff Kevin.
First i’ve seen of the TUI 737, i take it it is ex- SE-DZ?? Nice on getting the BACON dash 8, too, STILL trying to catch anything with the bacon titles….no luck so far.(hoping they don’t turn into another marathon hunt like i had with the RYR Dreamliner!!!!!)

Cheers Mate,
I have it as ex D-ATUB but in it past has been the following
N1786b
G-BYNB
PH_ABE
SE-DZM
and finally D-ATUB before becoming G-CDZM

I see you had the same problem as me then , with the RYR Dreamliner

I wouldn’t say Air Tahiti Nui, because of the routing (THT021 goes up the west, ie over Carlisle way, not straight over the NEW) but then I don’t think it’s Olympic either (grey belly?)

EDIT: I think the second one, dark tail with a light bit at the bottom, is a Delta B763/772

Scott

According to acars It routed up between Edinburgh and Glasgow ,and If you want I will dig out an old photo of it when it came over Glasgow Last Year Kevin

Thanks all….

I went to Spot 3 as described here – http://www.londonaviation.co.uk/photoguide/lhr.htm

This is a very good guide! Although I can now report for definate that the level crossing by the maintenance area is now CLOSED off and inaccessible…..you will have a long walk (circa 30 mins) from Hatton Cross to get round to the Northern perimeter…

Cheers for the info

Hi Tartan,
Whats the facilities at the New Terminal like , IE for Spotters and Graphers, When i was there it was still under construction and we spent most of the time at the Old viewing deck which had grate facilities

Hi tartan, Grate Pictures there
Sorry i didn’t manage down for you’re departure That’s down to Mr Bud the night before
Zurich what can I say, I’m still recovering from nearly being run down By TAI 747,(2003)
My mate and I managed to sneak on a Ramp tour,on the Friday ( Thanks Erik you know who you are) a group of School children were being taken around and after speaking to Erik we managed to secure the end car to our self What a tour the Finally was being taken on to the ramp after the tour and getting our pictures taken alongside the Edelweiss 330, Erik did try and get us on board ,but they had just started Boarding passengers
Sweet Dreams AAAAAAAAAAAAA

The Incidents that i cite were related, both were caused by the same problem electric cables which had corroded and shorted and operated the catch mechanisms on the cargo holds, and if it wasn’t for the Ramp rats vigilance there could have been a major disaster

back to topic, What I m say is Boeing are painting a very Rosy picture of this paper plane, there no problem that they have over looked ,but in the real world we all know this isn’t so
Airbus have had a lot of dealings with composites in their aircraft usually non critical parts , so why have they gone down the other road? to me this speaks volumes ,if composite Fuselages are so good you would expect every one else would follow suite
(look at the car industry for instance)

I do hope that Boeing can prove their design, because ,I think it will be a grate step forward, but I’m sceptical about it at the moment, I would be less sceptical if an other manufacturer was following in Boeing’s steps ,( and I don’t just mean Airbus)

I resent being called Ignorant, especially when A company may be trying to pull the wool over the general public’s eyes
all We gain is that fact If some at a airport decide to set about a composite fuselage with a hammer nothing visible will happen, we all know composite material are pretty resilient*but we are talking different forces and pressures on a new and untried design

“Is it so hard to beleive that Boeing DO know what they are doing and have it in hand?”

So we are not allowed to doubt Boeing’s say-so? There are examples from History were Boeing’s say-so wasn’t quite right Like the Forward hold on the 747 that cant open by it self , yet 1 United airlines aircraft was nearly lost because it did happen and it was only when it happened to a BA 747 on the ground That Boeing had to eat their words

I stand by the right to question either Boeing’s or Airbus facts

all the bits you mention (noses, tails, flaps, gear doors, wing fairings etc), are non structural, repairing a pressurised, load bearing structure properly (even in aluminium) is a bit more involved.

And it still to be proven, all we have is Boeing saying it will work, And whats the point of hitting a piece of composite material with a mash hammer? what dose that prove? nothing. In reality we are dealing with the unknown, Airbus have chosen not to go down the composite fuselage road why? maybe they see something that Boeing can’t
Ramp Rash , most common is for vehicles colliding with the fuselage, with the ally skin there is a chance to detect a potential problem. composite materials you wont see anything till maybe it’s to late

Are the advantages of 787,going to be outweighed by the time that the aircraft will have to spend on the ground under maintenance, Because the whole fuselage will have to be Ultra-sounded, then if a repair is required , they cant just remove a panel and rivet another one in, and to rebond an area will require large and expensive equipment
