Just a wee bit too far for me but enjoy it.
I’ll be there for the crimbo quiz

Heat seeking missles’d be no good against a Minor – the hottest heat source would be the pilot working hard!

Seriously though luckily the only times we hear of an airliner being brought down by a light aircraft is in an accident situation and even those seem very distant memories now.

Be assured Taifun you can almost guarantee that we aren’t the only ones to have considered it. At the moment such an act on packed 747 would be terrible – what would it be like when the A380 comes into service?

The complete airframe is the ex-Greenpeace machine (Note reg at the end of the hull) and I should think the other is the ex-PS aircraft.

Sid Aames “Only child?”

Welcome indeed.
There are others on here that share similar passions… We are a varied bunch that’s for sure.

I saw all four at Oxford a few years back and they were systematically stripped right down to bare metal and sort of refurbished. I saw the Dash-7 at Duxford once as well.
I think I only ever saw all four lined up at Oxford once. Usually only managed to see three out at a time.
One appeared at PFA Rally at Cranfield too (and landed and departed off the grass)

I seem to recall the BBC covered this in the last year or so.
I’m sure you are right Steve. It is the Union flag unless flown from a Jack mast at which point they become Union Jacks according to what I remember.
