    I would love to see the gold c/s on a A346, my personal favourite c/s on my favourite a/c. What more could I ask for?

    I know just how big there are from my own experience!
    This a/c was at RAF Fairford in ’99 next to a C-5 Galaxy.
    This shot was taken from a crew exit door behind the wing on a C5.
    I walked from front to back in the C5 then into the body of the An124-100. Visually there isnt much difference, except the An124 looks and feels bigger, certainly cleaner!

    I dont think its a far off event. James Hogan has also looked at some Beoing a/c. Im not sure if its to compliment its excisting fleet of 767’s for its new Gulf Traveller or to aquire some larger a/c for its planned route to Oz

    I will try my best, just depends on how much money I spend on all the crap that I buy, and also the amount of burgers I eat!
    I will get to there at about 4am, that way I will be within the first 50 on site. I can then run around getting all the photos I want without all the fuss and elbows. Come 10am and I am sat in the enclosure, resting and looking forward to the whole show.
    I have always borrowed a decent camera in past years, so Im really excited bout this one

    Gulf Air have ‘borrowed’ two A340 from SIA which have both been put in the new c/s. One of these currently flies the Singapore route, and this is the a/c I will be flying on in October.
    Mr James Hogan has recently been to Paris to discuss the new fleet strategy whioch covers a ten-year period, during which the airline intends to double the size of the present fleet to 60 aircraft. The introduction of regional jets into Gulf Air fleet, which presently comprises a mix of 30 aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus, is also under review. Using these a/c offered by smaller regional jets that accommodate between 70 and 100 passengers, will allow Gulf Air to operate higher frequency services on its already strong intra-Gulf network.
    In July G/A will get another A330 serving there short and mediam haul flights
    I will try and get the new reg numbers if you wish

    A330- Tell me about it, Ive got that low hum from the Allison engines all the time, and it makes a change when I hear jet engines going into Lyneham

    For me its the A340-600 wearing Virgin colours

    They look good on all other aircraft, and I suppose they would look good on the 737, had the winglets not been the size of Mount Etna!!
    Although the pics that Monster took of the 737 did look good in Qantas colours.

    I prefere the Gemini’s more than the Starjets. The wheels look way too large on the Starjets.
    Last month I visited Staines and had a look in the shop which sells those models. Some of them look fantastic but I think I would have to remortgage my place to afford some of them.

    Rugby; Bath, (i used to play u17s)

    Baseball? No chance, how can a girlies rounders game be a National sport?

    American Football? No chance, why all the padding? It would be like Jonah Lomu wrapped in cotton wool. Sorry yanks, I prefere a mans game

    That pic has bought back child memories,
    It reminds me of a airfix model my brother who had which looks like a Bristol 170 and it was painted in desert colours. If my memory is correct do the two front doors open outwards?
    I am talking over 20 years ago since ive seen it.
