Just landed in Kuwait City. On finals for 33L:

This is the new PSS777 panel, its quite an impressive one. Note the weather radar imprints at the top of the MFD:

Check the commercial forum, a big thread on there already.

Rather similar to my last shot I admit, but with the added benefit of Activesky weather, which I decided to buy today after SB3 made a pathetic attempt at rendering todays wx at LHR.

Passing over the Black Sea en route to Kuwait:

OK these were taken into the sun, from about 6.5 miles out but when else am I going to get a chance to post photos of BA aircraft at LBA?

Flightline 146 operating for BACX Belfast-Manchester:

VLM:

In the press conference yesterday someone asked the question about vests. The response was that whilst there are stronger vests than the ones used by officers on the beat, these are specialist vests, and cannot be used routinely because of their weight. I have worn one before and they are extremely heavy, you certainly couldnt run in one.

I think that is was rebuilt after the accident. The accident was 29/04/2001 and the new registered owners Denmex Pty Ltd and Budbay Pty Ltd registered the aircraft 07/03/2005, so 4 years is plenty of time for a rebuild assuming the damage wasnt too bad.

However you would assume a pilotless landing would be a write off!

Heading back across the atlantic from Boston, just passing 30W with the sun starting to set. Looking forward to full London ATC this evening on Vatsim, Heathrow is already looking busy on Servinfo!
