Partial to an icy cold Moosehead in the summer

That’s good, spreading your largesse around the Commonwealth!

Seems to be an aborted take off run with not enough room to pull up

The favoured opinion now. The plane used the shortest runway at Brussels possibly due to Sunday noise restrictions. (NIMBYS!).

I don’t mind a nice beer now and then.. especially a Newkie broon

Wouldn’t have guessed that Geordie!:D:D

Better on the ground than anywhere else. Aircraft is/was N704CK en-route to Bahrain. It is an ex China Airlines plane. Speculation of tyre burst or bird strike.

Didn’t break Steve’s heart, he’s a wine buff!:D

Yes, the question is the selling price. If the passenger version costs 100M, a F version would cost less, because of the lack of refinements. So the difference in cost is the price of the creature comforts which might be 15M, 20M or 25M per plane.

Presumably the F version would have a few additions like strengthened floors and loading doors.

Conversion F’s are a red herring in this thread.

Agreed, some good photos. I must say the B-58 looks horrible with those turbofans.

Serves their purpose! Shuttle could be Stansted, no, sorry wrong type of grass, probably is U.S., good photos!:D
