Flying Tigers – now there’s a blast from the past!

It was previously N447T but that registration has been reused in the meantime.

It is still at Weston and was among the assets put up for sale when the airfield was put up for disposal over a year ago. I think there are issues with the availability of some of the aircraft’s records, which if true would no doubt complicate sale as a flyable aircraft. See this link for a report as of late 2011:

Nice shot of the 767 too, I was amazed how quickly it seems to get off the ground – presumably it goes somewhere close such as East Midlands?

It goes to Cologne and while it doesn’t usually take a long take-off roll, it was up very early on this occasion. Maybe its load was light on a Friday evening?

I also thought the location might be Weston, near Dublin, though I don’t recall any reports of G-AJAJ being sighted there.

Dublin’s Custom House appeared in several scenes of that episode, though with use of CGI or some other device to replace the modern buildings beyond it with a backdrop more in keeping with 1940s London:

The two Cosmos at Dublin are LY-COM (black – arrived 23 Nov.) and LY-COS (the Wow Force one at far end of the line, arrived 21 Nov.). Both the FlyRak (EI-EUL) and RayaJet (EI-EUS) A320s are ex-Spanair.

The two Cosmo A320s are at Dublin, so I guess that means they have stopped flying.

Sad news. Are any of MK Airlines planes still resident/abandoned there?

I saw a comment elsewhere in the last day or two that the two 747s at Filton are being broken up.

It’s a great collection and the bonus is the opportunity to board some of the aircraft if volunteers are available to facilitate this. On a visit earlier this year we got on board the KC-97, C-124, C-133 and Super Constellation – a fascinating and virtually unique opportunity!

“Lens”, not “lense”.

A few photos of the Varsity from the early 1980s; apologies for the less-than-perfect quality but at least I got it in the air.

I always understood that the wing folds on the Irish Seafires were deactivated in some way but that picture seems to show that the wing fold was operational – at least at that particular stage of the airframe’s life

I understand that they were deactivated in service but I have seen a picture of a stored example with the wings folded to save hangar space.

The light is difficult enough, depending on the time of day, and being on a family holiday I was constrained as to the times I visited. The ideal would be landing on 13 in the morning and then departing 31 in the afternoon, but when I was there the opposite tended to be the case! The take-offs with the hills behind were taken from the terminal, airside, as I waited for our flight home.

The new runway is to the north of the existing one and there is a linking taxiway at the north end which may offer photo opportunities. http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7381976

From the taxiway alignments of new runway, it looks to me like when they do begin dual runway operations, it won’t be used for landings from the sea.
