So, this would be a public event? Live ammo?

Ye gods, health and safety officials were made of sterner stuff back in the day….:)

What a cracking photo, thanks for sharing!

Don’t give ’em any more ideas for taking money off us 😀 On the face of it, though, this shouldn’t be too onerous, but as it’s the FAA’s fault for letting their records get in such a bad state in the first place I can see why owners will be a bit miffed about this.

I use flightradar24 myself on the PC, which my kids think is “really sad”

However, once they heard about the Planefinder app, that then becomes cool…go figure!

Anyway, no.1 son has planefinder on his iPhone, and we found that at home, with the stuff going over at high level, it didn’t pick everything up. Down near Heathrow, however, it worked just like the adverts.

As to the security thing, if you really want to bring down an airliner, there are plenty of other ways to do so, which don’t need going into on a public forum.

We use Wilsons in Huntingdon for sheet metal, might be worth giving them a try.

Failing that, Future Metals do have stock, although it may be in the USA. Only takes a few days to get it over here, though.

About lunchtime? That would have been a certain Grumman fighter…….

“It’ll all be on the blog”

Looks like someone’s boobed there……:diablo:

But unlike the 727s and KC-135s, weren’t the 707-400s built with RR engines and not converted.

The type was converted to use different engines, but not individual airframes, IIRC.

Indeed; that bit was in reply to Post #109.

Anybody know if 27L or 27R is being used for landings this week in the mornings?

They are landing on 27R right now. The switch is usually about 3pm, by which time any decent light would be gone anyway.
