mine was in 2000 i was in a 737-200 of ba going to paris and we just got to the gate and next to our plane was concorde G-BOAA (pre accident). so that was one of the best for me.
there is more chance of the vulcan at woodford!
some nice pictures and the report well, i was there!
The part of the airport with all the old planes is or used to be an airfield called safi in it’s own right untill luqa expanded. and when i was there in 1982 there were 6 or 7 dc3’s and a couple of carabou’s.
thanks for the report and i know where i am going on holiday 🙂
peter xm753 is inside now at the new museum at offut. xm605 was ok untill the rain leaked into the cockpit last year. hope this helps
last time i did that route was becuse our flight from miami was overbooked so we were sent the next dayfrom miami to st louis to get to lgw. that was a 747 100 of TWA. alas that was about 15 years ago.
he flew over greenham common where his daughter was protesting and the 2 hunters were supposed to be no fly zone enforcement. crap film but the last bit is good.
and where is the shadow of the plane on the ground

I do work for bentley and have ben all around the site and there are NO merlins ANYWHERE. and remember if it wasnt for a british general VW would not be anything.
my one cost £10, ok it may be plastic but i have the good feeling that i made it.
I am sorry to report that the 2 dc3’s and the dc6 were burned at the fire school at halfar in the late 1990’s and the last dc3 was saved by the guys at ta qali for the museum. unfortunatley the connie befel the same thng when it was vandalised, the only thing to survive were the 4 engines and props.
I was there in 1984 and they had 6 dc3’s together with a few carabou’s that were used for the oil fields in libya. Ahh happy days
what might have been, oh well!
