Well theres 4 of them, (an extra 2) for a start compared to the current Beluga!

Why has my post been “moderator edited” Cocrule15?? I though that’s what I wrote to start with?

Some nice pics there, I’ve always liked the Germania livery. I can remember the Fordair fleet when it was based at STN, BAC 1-11s and Gulfstream 1s. Makes more economic sense these days I guess, to outsource the aircraft and crews.

I remember them too. Followed by the MD-87s (or 88s?) and the 737/BBJ’s plus the odd US registered Gulfstream dropping in

Saw a C-17 in Bagram a while back. Looked awesome at night with all that green lighting!

Civilspotter. I recall that HS748 of CAA being used to calibrate Heathrow’s ILS systems in the 1960s and 1970s. It used to fly around joining the ILS from differing angles and altitudes. It was obvious because it kept flying over my home. I think the CAA had another 748 too. Nice photos!

Yes, the CAAFU had two 748’s for calibration. G-AVXI & G-AVXJ. Worked there for 6 months during my apprenticeship to get some VP propeller experience for my licence. Had a couple of nice trips in the jumpseat during calibration at LHR with a nice low level ciruit over the city for each approach!

Cargolux 747-8F LX-VCB departed KPAE at 1154 local time and headed to KSEA for cargo onload. Will be in ELLX at 0830Z Oct 13th all being well.:)

I apologise for incorrectly stating that their treatment was free:( However, you couldn’t blame me for thinking it:rolleyes:

Now back to the photos

Hiya Flightmech – no I shall not rise to that one:)

:):D

Horror of horrors do I hear what I thought were ethical engineers saying what I had hoped I’d never hear in my lifetime.

Am I hearing that pressures of work are making good engineers cut corners so they don’t have time to leave a trace of verifiability. Oh ho.y sh.t!:eek: Therefore when Joe Public gets on some flights he/she now faces flying on an aircraft with an unverifiable/’doctored’ engineering log or no log at all.Nice.:mad:

Stop worrying or swearing and if any of you that are good aircraft engineers just do the job the employer and public expect you to do ethically and honestly without any need for falsifying records.;) Easy peasy and the clean suits will stay away.:D

Where did you hear that? I just said that I don’t need you to tell me how to do my job, not that I wasn’t doing it. Why don’t you pay attention and read what people are actually writing rather than interpreting it as something you want to so you can have yet another pompous rant:mad::mad::mad:
