I was around Finningley 1976-78, and was there the day the Varsity was officially retired…..can’t be precise, but I would put about Easter 1977. What I can remember clearly is the rather spectacular farewell display…..the crew did not appear to be too concerned about over-stressing the machine!

I was also at Finningley then working in Ops and the Royal review planning team remember that flight also…..Also got on the last Varsity flights into a very wintry Gatow with a three ship if my mermory serves me correct. (got some pictures somwhere will try to dig them out!!

Is it not a Varsity? as the forward fuselage looks a bit long for the a tail sitting Valetta..

As for the “does it matter, it’s only a film” comment – of course it does! We’re die-hard pedants, anoraks, nerds! Well I am, at least.

I think you will find that normal car insurance over in the UK has a clause stating vehicle not covered on any aircarft manouvering area or airfield boundary. remember this if you have PPL!!

How would this have happened? Wouldn’t the airport’s tower have had to verbally clear the pilot for the runway in question?

Hi Dinger

It appears that the controller forgot to mention the little problem with the hole in the runway to the landing aircarft unless he was on a no comms procedure arrival.

Sorry Matt

I used to work for a flight briefing service and putting temp notams onto charts was a pain in the butt…apols for confusion.

The guys were lucky to get out of that that Albert though!!! 😮

yeah sorry A225HVY, i didnt mean to imply pilots or anyone else ignore them but i am just talking from the point of charts that have to be published cyclicly. From that point of view it was thought that the ATC of the AD should handle those temps.

Matt

Didn’t take too seriously worked under AIRAC pressure before!! 😀

Temp notams and snowtams arent taken seriously they are left to the ATC to sort out, as charting cranes and obstructions can be a pain in the arse specially when you are following the Airac cycle.

I think you will find most professional aircrew respect temp notams/snotams as well as ordinary notams…as an ex air traffiker in a military enviroment used to Temp notams et-al.

There was a serious communications mess-up (wouldn’t let me put c*ck up) here between the ATC and pilot concerned!!

Those notams dont get taken very seriously do they? i just thought i was about to ATC to deal with runway obstructions and threshold problems.

Notams are taken “very” seriously especially runway closure ones!!!!!! As
can be seen above it can ruin your day. I always have a look at the notams even if going for a jolly in the local area.

ATC is provided by the American military and from experience can be a bit loose but is usually of good quality…try this link to explain
