    I recall being aware of Braniff in the early 80’s but never saw one for real.

    These are some of the liveries and types I recall from that time as seen at Glasgow Airport in the late 70’s and early 80’s… 😀

    Speaking of models… is anybody planning to go to the Luchtvaart Hobby Shop summer festival on Friday 21 May? Looks like there might be a few bargains to be had there.

    I’m not, but it sounds interesting. 🙂

    Belfast City is another one where airside photography is banned, as I discovered on my trip there last October.

    I don’t think there is any intention that she should leave the hangar once reassembled. She isn’t going to fly and would disintegrate very quickly if left outside in the elements, and they certainly aren’t going to wheel a large aircraft like that in and out all the time. So, as far as I know, once put back together the Concorde will remain in that hangar permanently (unless the museum manages to build a purpose-built building on newly-acquired land nearby).

    Points taken Ian thanks, I was under the impression they might roll her outside for the odd open day. What I’m wondering though is whether or not this will in fact be physically impossible once reassembled ?

    I think one of you guys at the recent East Fortune meet was speculating as to the size and height of the hangar doors versus the height of the Concorde plus tail ? :confused:

    Oddly enough the BBC television series “Crowded Skies” tackled this very subject in the first episode broadcast around a year ago.

    Many pilots were concerned about operating in unregulated airspace, shared with fast moving military traffic.

    So that’s two lo-co Irish start up’s gone pear shaped, are Aer Lingus and Ryanair making it difficult for them or what ? :confused:

    Or is it just bad accountancy ?

    Looking at Manhattan from above you can see where Fritz Lang got the idea for the film ‘Metropolis’. I believe the Nazi’s wanted to use the area as a blueprint for future arian super cities in Europe.

    trying to drown their sorrows no doubt after the Jambos result. 😀

    My heart bleeds for them… 😉

    I thought that initially too, but it happened around half eight. I’ve heard of Rangers fans leaving Ibrox early, but not THAT early !

    Will she definitely be able to leave the hangar once all the bits are reattached ? I know there was some talk about this being difficult to say the least.

    It ain’t animated on my desktop, what’s happened to my settings ?

    Good news about the 757 by the way, it was looking a right mess.
