First flight is from what I’ve heard scheduled for March 31st.

They promised to do their first flight in the 1st quarter of 2005. They have had some delays, but they are desperately trying to make 31/03/05 so they can still claim their first flight was indeed in the first quarter.

Either way, expect the first flight soonish. If I am not mistaken the engines have already been tested, just not flown or taxied.

In October 2001 & June 2002, a Wasp (XT788 – but marked as XT78? – G-BMIR) was displayed in the main shopping area at Bexleyheath, owned by Xray Tango Helicopter Club, its home is at Dunkeswell, if this is the same aircraft.

Geoff.

You’re from Bexleyheath? Cause I lived there for a year as well. I have also seen that Wasp, June 29th 2002 at the Broadway shopping centre.

5) One of the airports in the Caribbean. I believe Hato Curacao? Stationed there are a handful of F16s, Orions and perhaps an AWACS on drugs hunting missions.

I’m not really up on JU88 survivors. There’s that one in the UK somewhere (Hendon? IWM?) which IIRC is the night fighter that landed in Scotland by mistake. And one got pulled out of a lake in Norway not so long ago (along with a HE111). What others?

There is one at the Technik Museum at Sinsheim Germany. Also the remains of a Stuka that had crashed into a lake.

On the plus side, if after 2 weeks this is the worst you can think of you did wrong…. you will get a good grade!

Which carrier and which route(s) will you be working for? I work at a transport company that every day ships over a load of containers between Europe and North America. You might be hauling my containers!

That French sign means nothing. It merely indicates that the owner of the container is the Gold Container Group. It has no baring on what is inside the container.

Now if you can get hold of the mandatory freight manifest, that would explain all.
