the aircraft in question did not spring a leak,it was down to miscalulation in Lbs and kilos (fuel load)
Sorry Bruce i am not allowed to tell at the moment.
I have to say Trident 3B G-AWZK after all i have spent the past 10 years working on her and the last 9 months securing her future. 😀
G-awzx
It is indeed true the Comet and Trident are up for the chop, the comets fuselarge will be saved so will ZXs cockpit,hopefully ZXs wingtips will be in good enough condition to save for ZK.I will give more details as i get them. 😀
G-BOAC
concorde went thrugh the fence,ZK will go in an area that is at the front of the viewing park ie it will be the first aircraft you see as you enter the viewing park.:D
confirmed G-BOAC has movd
AC was indeed moved yesterday to the viewing park. 😀
how close !!
not too sure but i think she will be skimming the coast ,go to concorde sst forum for more info.:D
news on sst web about AF
it was an april fools day prank!!!!!:D
re curfew
once she is on the barge she will start her voyage to dungeness,where she will be taken from the barge and taken by road to east fortune.
re curfew
she will be leaving by (road )when there is less traffic about,she will be taken to isleworth and placed on a barge on the thames.
re seating
yeah you got it (it could have ) but as i said BEA and BA never did channel were the only airline to do so.
seating
BEA and British airways never configured there trident threes in this mannor the only operator that did was channel airways in the 1970s the had trident 1E-140 s with no galleys and maxium pax config maybe this is what you are thinking about????
photo day
albert that is a no go BA will not allow acess to the aircraft to me anymore a good idea but a no go area im affraid :confused:
WEST BASE
as i am aware all the hangers will be pulled down, the area will be used as an arcraft parking area due to overcrouding in the central terminal area.
reasons for tridents removal
G-AWZK has to be moved from westbase as BA are moving out of this area the hangers will be demolished and the land returned to the BAA the trident has to go by 31st march as does concorde G-BOAA
