[QUOTE=Willip26;1176424]Ah yes, the days of the Spitfire G-AIDN, Currie Wots, B.E.A., Cambrian and Jersey Airlines Daks and the Saunders-Roe hangar full of Skeeters and the first batch of P.531 Sprites, as I believe the Westland Scouts were originally called.

Not forgetting the DH.86, Consul, Hornet Moth, Zaunkonig, Proctors, Gemini, Safir and Tigers. The Saro P.531 alias Wasp/Scout, don’t recall it being a Sprite. The prototype was being built front and centre of the hangar which was open and you could touch a prototype aircraft being built, don’t think that happens anymore.:)

Have any other Q400 operators had similar problems?

Congratulations, wondered when you would write again! Good luck with the rebuild.:)

As I expected, our initial poster has not reappeared since his first and only post. So four minutes for his first post and two minutes to register makes him a six minute member.:rolleyes:

The aircraft were both 767-200s (from the safety card) though the inbound said it was a 767-200 ER and I haven’t a clue what the ‘ER’ stands for.Moggy

Anyone else think it stands for ‘extended range’?:D Work or pleasure trip?:confused:

Some more info. on the one and only flight of the racer!:(

The Mars landed and took off, so hopefully it is working the fires. It actually had two bird strikes on its flight south.

Great history of the Routemaster on Wiki with licence plates for ‘bus anoraks’. They are an endangered species, but can still be seen on the roads of London.
