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.
It went for £1500! Staying in the U.K., how much would a replica cost to make?
Well, it went for £1500, not bad, how much if you commissioned it?
Great photos, not an Irish plane in sight!:)
A further report from Air News. How many nuclear secrets can you fit in this plane?!

This is not Farnborough, but Radlett in 1947, the year before the SBAC shows moved to Farnborough. This Proctor floatplane was only shown statically and was subsequently de-converted and sold to Canada as CF-EHF.
So, this aircraft was ordered by the Hudson’s Bay Company as a float plane and then they accepted it as a regular land plane? Incidentally, it is still probably in existence at Ottawa.
Don’t know! But I do know that all Proctor V’s have Ae c/n’s if that is any help.
Here are a couple of black and white photos by Bill Fisher, the first from the 60’s or 70’s and the second from the 80’s.
Heres a few more of the weird Gulfstream 550 Snooper thingy at Edinburgh on Wednesday.
It is registered to Gulfstream as a research and development vehicle, so the only Israeli connection is that it was built there, is that correct? You are not suggesting the Israelis are operating it are you?
