John Trent the F/E went to Aer Turas who have just gone out of buisness, its a hard life.

Mongu, it is a Convair 440 i think.It was bought from a Portugese
freight company.I seem to remember it either has an engine problem or an undercarraige problem, perhaps both.
Incidentally i believe the Electras are operated without a flight engineer.

mikeconnell, i have not bought the latest edition as i have just come back from a week in Lanzarote, a grand place for spotting and photography.
I shall rush out and buy a copy, i am always interested in the older jets.

RE: British Airways Quiz.

The Dan Air question intriques me, because i have a mate who flew the
727 for them almost up to the end and he doesnt know.

RE: Scandinavian MD80’s

If you have the exact date and flight number you could write to the
SAS public relations department and ask them.

RE: Which WWII aviator/aviatrix interests you most?

Every single one of Bomber Command.To take off in the dark knowing you
faced anything up to ten hours in a freezing cold metal tube,never
knowing when or if you would see England again or if you would suffer
horrific injuries.Well,they were far braver men than i can imagine.
And to think they never got a medal.What a disgrace.

RE: Help on Virgin fleet

I think G-VSSS is now TF-ATW with Air Atlanta but operates in a Virgin
c/s on the Manchester-Orlando route.

RE: Airline flight codes

I think swl is a Swedish airline Transjet who are rapidly getting a reputation as being a tad unreliable.Operate MD80 series aircraft and B747 classics.
