Accountant – as in Tax Haven Type

CSA – as in “run , but you can’t hide your wageslip”

Preston is spot on , it only extends on the ground , once the aircraft is correctly fuelled and loaded the CofG comes back within the safety margins and the tail stop can be retracted. It’s only to stop the aircraft tipping rearwards whilst loading.

PREGNANCY as in NO pill

The only Belfast at Prestwick is G-HLFT , she was supposed to come up here for a repaint in the Polar facility after being sold to an Australian company , she did go into the Polar Hangar but came back out still in the Heavylift colour scheme ( but looking a bit shinier ) . She is still sitting to the left of the Polar hanger but has’nt moved in over a month . The same company which has supposed to have bought HLFT are supposed to have bought another Belfast for spares use – this is down south somewhere . There was a thread about HLFT and a would be operator known as “the Guv ” on the Pprune network , but nothing has come of it yet . I fear the longer she lies inactive , the more likely she will be scrapped – her ramp charges must be mounting up now .

Great website David , I’ve just spent the last hour and a half reading the story archives , bloody funny , good photos too .
