Beautiful photos of a beautiful aircraft. There are too few Comets (and indeed other classic airliners) preserved, when you consider the keenness for preserving historic military types. It is completely out of proportion, the airliners are as much a part of aviation history as the Lancaster, the Spitfire, Hurricane etc, but read any preservation and historic magazine and all you get are warbirds, all aviation museums have warbirds but very few have airliners. Those which do should be supported.

No it isn’t, it’s a BAe 146 with different engines.

It was made on the same production line in the same factory as the rest of the BAe 146s, and I’m not going to start calling it something else just to suit some marketing department’s whim and fancy.

Anyway, I included it specially for you, Comet. 🙂

Thanks for all the kind comments. :D:D:D

The 146s and RJ85s have different onboard safety instructions and stuff (I am just talking from very recent experience here). The 146-200s are registered in a similar sequence, OO-DJG for example is 146-200, and OO-DJK downwards is ARJ85. The ones registered OO-DW* are Avro RJ100, and they have different passenger capacities.

But thanks anyway for the photo, it is a delight

Beautiful, especially the first one 😀 I always drop everything and concentrate on them when I am spotting and they arrive, it doesn’t matter who or what else is there!

(And OO-DJN is an Avro RJ85).

My first was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum with 16K which crashed. This was replaced by another Sinclair ZX Spectrum 16K which was then upgraded to 48K and a more temperamental machine I have never known!

My latest PC was bought in 2003 and is a Philips Multimedia Iqon PC with 256MB memory, Windows XP, Philips monitor, HP 3820 printer, Epson Perfection 1260 scanner, Kodak CX7530 digital camera – that describes my set up. My PC has a CDRW drive and a DVD ROM drive as well as a floppy drive, and I use it for pretty much everything now so I couldn’t bear to be without it for long!

As far as games consoles go, I had a Pocket Game Boy which was transparent so you could see all the workings inside (I still have it and will hang onto it), and I have a PlayStation 2 which is also good for watching DVDs on when I am not watching them on the PC!

Beauties! My favourite is a certain RJ100 taken just after landing…No points for guessing which 😀 I can’t wait to go back to BHX.

I think that’s wrong. When you became Mod you decided to take it down because you disliked it, did you consult the folk on the forum?

The thread had turned nasty, and as I said, it had no place in a Planespotting forum. If someone who had been in the crash, or had lost a relative had done a search and found that it would have been offensive to see that someone had decided to make their personal ghoulish album of the disaster. As a forum Moderator I had a duty to see that offensive rubbish did not remain on the forum, I certainly did not berate people for objecting to the material in the photos but I berated the person responsible for uploading the photos to the site.

GOB SH!TE, cos thats all it will do for the first 12 Months, eat and crap 😀 :diablo:
Phil.

Not familiar with Weimaraners then? 😀 They may crap but they don’t eat. We had one, couldn’t be house trained, refused to eat anything put in front of it, crapped all over the yard and its indoor kennel, tried to throttle our other dog. The local training club wouldn’t have it for training so in the end we sent it back to the breeder.

I would never have another of that breed.
