Just to re-inforce the education aspect of the museum we today had a party from a local airline engineering school. They were treated to a run of one of the Gyron Junior engines on the Bucc.
I remember seeing that Bucc fly over Leuchars many many years ago.
Wreckage has been located
I note that G-INFO says that G-BSTV was deregistered this month. I think it lay at Popham for some time minus one of its wings.
I haven’t been to Popham for a couple of years now, is the Mini Coupe G-BPDJ still stored round the back?
The picture on the BBC website showed that it was Mexican registered
Already being discussed here 😉
Err, no it doesn’t tell two different stories.
It says that initially Ryanair denied any link with the volcanic activity but later admitted that ash had been found in two engines.
Oh yes and this probably explains just as well
I think Ryanair’s nervousness may have something to do with the fact that a couple of their aircraft over the past few days or so have reportedly been found with ash in their engines and one flight had to turn back after an acrid smell entered the cabin shortly after takeoff. The smell it was later discovered was caused by chemicals used to clean the ash from the engines.
From the Flightradar24 site, is this actually correct about only 60% carrying ADS-B equipment?
Flightradar24.com shows live airplane traffic from different parts around the world. The technique to receive flight information from aircraft is called ADS-B. That means the Flightradar24.com can only show information about aircraft equipped with ADS-B transponders. Today about 60% of the passenger aircraft and only a small amount of military and private aircraft have an ADS-B transponder.
Probably the same reason that virtually all of FlyBEs flights are missing as well. There is a listing of aircraft types that they don’t cover which includes Dash 8s.

here’s the UK statute that allows banner towing
Schengen visas only really apply to non-EU passport holders (as my Russian ex-wife found out to her cost when we went to Ireland once and discovered her permanent UK residency rights didn’t allow her access without an Irish/Schengen visa).
What it means for EU citizens within the Schengen zone is that they can cross borders without having passport checks at borders. This is why at various EU airports traffic to the UK and outside the Schengen zone are hived off into a separate area.
However, for non-EU passport holders a Schengen visa will allow them to travel within the Schengen area rather than needing single visas for each country

Last time I was at an airshow there, the 81st were flying F-4s…. *cries*
