633 Sqn.
Also in 633, there is a blue Land Rover at the beginning of the film as the Sqn. returns from a raid!
Do Air Contractors still have one C-130 flying on the Irish Reg?
James
Think both the L-100’s went to Safair.
If being civil registered,would this not be the first C-130 to operate on the UK register?
A couple were registered in Eireland but I think you are correct that this would be the first as I couldn’t find a record of any other UK example!:)
More info. here!:D My info. says A.319.
Just asked the question, it will be civil registered.
Thanks for that info, spy on the inside. I don’t understand why the application for the civilian registration hasn’t been made yet. The A.400 is due to fly early 2008 (?) and the engine hasn’t even been air tested yet. It has been ground run. If, if, an early flight of the prototype A.400could be expected, what would be the point of a test aircraft with only one TP400 fitted?:confused:
Yep, Snoopy is currently sat in 17 hangar, here at Cambridge, with a gert big prop sat in front of her. It’s scarey to look at.
So if it is now owned by Marshalls (I think), is it going to be civvy registered or retain its military mark. Haven’t seen any CAA registration yet for it!
Maybe Pyrotec, if so the company still exists today.
No, definitely Pyrene and that’s a Hillman?
:confused:
This is what I found when searching the FAA!

Agreed!:o But when I checked it was an AA5A, I see that the web site was updated 10th December, that’s my excuse!
About to be used as a flying test bed for the A400M’s engine, being deconverted at Cambridge I believe
That is correct, a test bed for the TP400-D6 which may explain the delay in the first flight of the A400M if they haven’t tested the engine yet!
http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51/survivors/pages/44-13954.shtml – does this help at all?- not recent, but some details!
So this would be G-UAKE c/n 44-13954. Site says owned by David Kingshott, but CAA says the owner is Philip Warner. The restoration is being done by Maurice Hammond (?).
But on second thoughts, he may have had a new lease on life and gone to Holland.

If you mean XV208, ‘appens he has been retired!:)
10th December, Maxjet confirms all flights are on schedule. (Press more).
The Independent seems to be on top of reporting the facts about the aircraft and the base responsible for maintaining them.
