    I don’t see anybody mentioning Laredo Air CV440 San Antonio-Laredo and return or the mob that used to fly out of Carlsbad with CV580s (their name escapes me for the moment) Tucson San Diego and return

    Its not a bad little radio for the price, i used to have one. You wont pick up from the airport unless your there but if you are in your house you may pick up a few passing by… Only other thing is you will struggle to get to an exact frequency as it is a dial, if you are looking for specific frequencies a digital display would be better 🙂

    Ah, that’s how airband radios used to be – a dial. No such thing as exact frequencies in my youth sadly. But there again, in Scotland there weren’t that many frequencies either.

    I just heard, that the plane might be hit by a bird-strike during take-off.

    A Turkey – Greece War would be ideal for this 🙂 Ukraine vs Russia another 🙂 U.S vs Pakistan 🙂

    Once upon a time most countries in the Middle East seemed to fly Mirages of one sort or another…

    I saw an ex SAA A-300 on the back of three low loaders heading for the ferry a few years back on its way to Germany and I recall the prototype Victor was roaded to Boscombe Down for its first flight so it’s not that unusual.

    Most, if not all of the aircraft have now gone, but I flew past there last year and was surprised to see a MIG 23 parked up just on the land side of the sea wall. I think most of the trials work involving aircraft has now stopped.

    The MiG23 was one of the Floggers that were at Hawarden. There were also reports of a Dutch F-16 here for a while as well.

    I seem to recall that the A300 may have been the French one involved and damaged in a hijack incident.

    Smaller stuff was definately moved in by road and I recall that a number of Scimitars that ended up here routed through Southend Airport.

    Otherwise I would imagine that anything big would come in by road. The roads to Southend are pretty reasonable and once you had got past there you were virtually onto the Island and the small roads would only really start once you were past the gate.

    We know Snoopy lives on in its current altered state (seems that they could have found a higher houred Herk as a test bed so the low houred plane might be useful in its intended role….unless previous mods made that impractical)…

    But what became of the Canberra and Valetta?

    Given that the last set of accounts showed that they owed Marshall Aerospace well over a million squids by the middle of July 2007 one wonders what the outstanding bill up to July 2008 was.

    No – and we drove down to the Ilyushin ramp past the Tupolev area.

    I didn’t notice anything unusual – although I was rather excited and busy snapping off everything I could see !!!

    I’ll take another look at my pics….
