Yes I can! Just discovered that it had another ‘last’ flight, this time to Phoenix Goodyear airport, a flight of 22 minutes, I really think this is the END!:( 🙁 🙁
I presume that we are talking only about the last flight of HB-IGH rather than the last flight of a DC-8?
That was the inference, but I cannot find any further info. at the moment!:confused:
I was following the item and don’t think you can assume that E-Bay pulled it, the seller could have withdrawn it for some unknown reason.
And your point is… ? Currently that site’s hit counter reads 18,928 so it works for someone. And the guy isn’t a regular forumite. Is that a crime ?
.
The point is that I tried the site link twice and it didn’t work for me, so to save anyone else wasting their time trying, I mentioned it. The link works now.
The other point is that if a member doesn’t log in for over eight months, it would be rather pointless sending him a P.M.

Latest news is that the aircraft involved were the Pacific 750XL ZK-KAY and a Luscombe. The 750 is the plane that landed at the airport.:(
IL-76
Oh, and I have corrected the thread title.
Ah! The power of the digital finger!:D
What would you expect with Terry Thomas in it? The film was actually called ‘Don’t look now, we’re being shot at’ or officially ‘La Grande Vadrouille’. Also interesting was the fact that there were three crew in the aircraft and five crew parachuted from it!

The website isn’t working for me and the ‘member’ was last logged on on 1st April.:confused:
Air Clues was compulsory reading in the ATC, at least in our Sqn.!
A good report from an ‘aviation enthusiast’, is he a Forum member?:)
In Adobe Acrobat Reader you can always re-scale the page size to show at whatever text size is suitable????? :confused:
Thanks, I hate Adobe as it doesn’t work for me, some computer glitch I guess!
Confirmed that two have died and the airport has reopened.:(
Yes, I am interested, thanks for posting!
It is annoying when these reports are published and you cannot read one page at a time without scrolling the pages up and down.
It was interesting to note the size of Duxford airfield from the overview photo, it is smaller than you would think, presumably it was larger when it was active.:confused:
So what other jets have landed in Antartica? C-17 presumably anything bigger from the U.S.? Maybe some Russian activity.:confused:
