There was a camp near Cambridge; you can still see the remnants of it by the A14 at Milton, where the travellers site is now.

I knew a chap who was imprisoned there, Gunter “John” Schwartz. It was also a distribution centre for supplies to the American forces. Life was quite easy for the prisoners, they just used to load up food and stuff from trains onto trucks for delivery. John told me they could pinch chocolate, as long as they took the whole box. Damaged cartons would be noticed.

John stayed in the UK after the war, and eventually became the avionics manager for Aviation Traders. A great guy.

Excellent work again Roobs; well worth the wait mate.

It would be nice if it looked something like this…

No, my point was that the image as only possible through this guy’s employment with us. He took a picture of the flight deck whilst he was working, without seeking permission to do so, and then posted it online with his copyright. My argument would be that it should be the airline’s intellectual property as it was not a publicly available image.

There used also to be someone at Edinburgh who would go onboard our aircraft during turnrounds and get pictures of the flight decks. He would then post them on A.net. All of this in the post 9/11 era.

At the tail end of last year the daily LY213 was sometimes being flown by a 737. Bit of a rarity around these parts.

Not all bad news then;

“Un hangar va être construit pour le B17 et pour d’autre avion de la même époque et il sera maintenu en état de vol pour reprendre l’air dans le futur quand les conditions le permettront”

Whaddya mean you don’t speak French? :p

That’s going to be a long journey in a 737, hope they don’t charge to use the lav 😀

They’ve got no choice. Carry out the AD or you cannot fly. I remember well going to Schiphol in 1979 and a bunch of DC-10’s were parked up waiting to be inspected for an emergency AD.

However, given that in this particular case there is a 12 to 30 days inspection window, it is urgent rather than critical.
