    The facility at Gratz is something else! It has to be seen to be believed….AWESOME

    Bit confused about the connections between Graz and Salzburg as the new hangars seem to be at Salzburg, check out the Red Bulls website.

    Though they may not be terrorists..they did something REALLY stupid.
    You just don’t show up and expect to get on a plane with a gun.
    And why didn’t the woman have a permit for carring a concealed weapon.:confused:
    I would think serious legitimate companies know and follow the rules.

    Sounds like a couple of “Magnum PI” wannabes..

    Agreed. It would be interesting to know whether they had started from Hawaii, with the gun and were then on their return flight!

    The aircraft N612VH is registered to the Classic Rotors Museum at Ramona. Interestingly, the other Wasp registered in the U.S. is N46641 which according to its U.S. aircraft code is a 12 seater!:D

    Are those ‘bone domes’ looking slightly out of place on a 1930’s classic?:D

    This is a beautiful restoration beyond doubt. The aircraft, c/n 45563 was originally delivered to the Yugoslavian as YU-AFA and then sold to the Zambian Air Force. It became V5-NCF and was then rescued by Red Bull which is owned by Dietrich Mateschitz and Mr. Chaleo. It might hold a record for having spent the least time in the U.S.

    Despite the hype by posters on this thread, there was no terrorist activity in this instance. The two people were employees of a private court service company contracted by the state of Hawaii to transport a prisoner from Arizona to Hawaii. The gun was declared to screeners and following a police check, the holder did not have a gun permit and technically were not police officers.

    Why would the Napoli be carrying contaminated vodka? Ah yes it’s just a smokescreen on the part of HM customs & excise isn’t it ?:rolleyes:

    Obviously the vodka was not contaminated when it was ON the ship.:p

    The Health Protection Agency has followed up the story that vodka was stolen from a container at Portland Port (as reported in media yesterday). There were concerns that the vodka may be contaminated, and Dorset Police issued a warning urging ‘anyone who has bought a bottle of vodka from a man in the Weymouth area not to drink it.” The advice from the Salvage Control Unit to the Health Protection Agency is that the vodka has been tested and found in good condition. However, no known vodka has left the site. The containers with the vodka are being loaded onto the MSC Grace.

    Contractors are responding to reports of fruit juice cartons washing ashore at Branscombe.

    Hasn’t your “Micro-jet” in the picture actually got a propeller pushing it?
    (obviously the registration is not blindingly evident)

    Yes, this is a propellor version. The designer Jim Bede is quite a character, just read his biography on Wiki.

    “Ryanair will open services to Poznan, Wroclaw, Rzeszow and Katowice in Poland.”

    So can you confirm that there is a big demand from Bristol to Poland and vice versa? Obviously I am fishing for some background info. which I do not have knowledge of.

    That’s because it’s not a DC-10.. it’s an A310

    Go to sleep Steve, I have just woken up, maybe an A300? Michael.

    I found the Laker pics, here’s one for anyone interested.

    It’s a little too early in the morning to be looking at pictures like this, but why is the third DC-10 engine underneath the fuselage?:confused:
