Do CSA promote guitar “plectrums” 😀 seems so with the shape behind CSA ……………..damned horrid design imho.

Apparantly according to cabincrew.com Monarch’s oldest 757’s G-MONB/C are being retired before summer 2008

Im not really suprised at that,i flew on NB in 1983,rumers were thant NB ither went to Boeing or Duxford,IMHO Boeing will get the airframe as they want to inspect it in NDT for hours and cycles, as it’s the highest houred 757 in the world……………time will tell as to the disposal of the airframes.

without doubt the best looking airliner ever built

Yeah and British,apart from the stab (Sud Aviation France):rolleyes:

Ren,not all of the TriStar’s were BA ones.Three were Pan Am .:rolleyes:

The Nimrod was introduced in 1969 if my memory serves me correct,The VC-10 was introduced to the RAF in 1966,if anyone can correct me please do,im a civil person at heart.:D

don’t ask me why civil aircraft don’t do this,

Trident’s did have rear facing seats,on the Tri3 there are only two rows rear facing,on the Tri 1 and Tri 2 all seats from door two to the overwing exits faced rearwards.:D By the way a good freind of mine is a training captain on the RAF VC-10 fleet he says the “best” ex airline Supers are the ex East African aircraft (they have lower hours) and were fitted with the cargo door as standard.He says the ex BA ones are not that good and are high houred!!:D
Here are some of his traning sortie pics,



By the way he posts as VFB (Vickers fun bus ) on other forums.:D

Nice one Si,thanks for thinking of me while you were there,by the way did Mr Brown take you round (he is the main man):D
