Anyone like to shed some light on who Jet Time Airways are??
I guess it would be the old Sterling Airlines?
A certain well known German airline did that to a 747 and bent it like a banana!!! There are pictures of it somewere on the net too!

Guess this is the one you are thinking of, D-ABZY!:D

As part of my research for my Skua/Roc book, I had some radio programmes copied from Orkney Library archive tapes. On one of these, there was an interview with a wreck diver who had apparently discovered a Blackburn Roc in quite good condition somewhere off the coast of Orkney. The location was kept secret to hide it from the souvenir hunters, but it was apparently quite accessible and there was talk of raising it. The radio interview was from 1987 and to my knowledge, nothing has happened since. I would be overjoyed to be proved wrong, however, and if anyone knows anything more about this discovery I’d be delighted to hear about it!
From your experience, you would probably be able to state immediately whether this was L3159 of 771 Sqn. which crashed on 22/10/43.
So, item did not reach reserve at £9200 and is presumably unsold. The high bidder is a serious collector, so maybe a deal will be done.
Having said all that, what happened to the originator of this thread, we still want to know why.
I think he’s scouting for a new Airbus factory.:D

One of the three Saunders Roe SR.A/1 ‘Squirt’ jet flying boats crashed in the Solent during testing and as far as I know was not recovered. Of course the possibility of locating it now considering the double tide phenomenon of the Solent would probably be out of the question.
That’s a very handy site Newforest (do you have a name ) thanks for the link

Thanks guys for the informative answers from the front line!:)
Brilliant shots Alex like the 727 shot any ideas who owns it? and the Norwegian 737 Taking Off.

Don’t tell anyone about the 727, it is the Bahrain Royal Flight. It is also a regular visitor to LHR, Paris, Berlin, Geneva, Milan, Madrid and Bangkok. It has a ‘rich’ heritage as it used to belong to Hughes Airwest.
Mr. Manston asking about a commerical 737 operator?:D Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Good morning Steve and welcome to the Forum!:) Note that you get your answer in 37 minutes!
I have seen this done for real (albeit in a hangar) several times and the raised a/c is very stable – the most tricky part of the exercise is raising and lowering the a/c in a precisely horizontal state to ensure it doesn’t slip of the jacks due to being lop-sided – the DC-9s I saw it done on had a plumbline inside the nose gear bay which was watched by one of the engineers as the a/c was raised to ensure the a/c remained level, but a very a/c like a 777 maybe has something a little more sophisticated.
Andy
If you have seen the operation, how long does it take to raise the plane? I presume there are three jacks in operation. Are they independent of each other in the operation or do they work in unison?
The news we’ve all been waiting for! The final container has now been removed from the Napoli which was beached on the 20th January. Discussions are now taking place on the method of disposal for the Napoli. It seems certain to be scrapped in one way or another.
