    Fear not chaps, he’ll be along dreckly…:D

    I seem to remember from living in Cornwall that ‘dreckly’ was the Corniish version of Mañana … but without the same sense of tearing urgency! If uttered by a builder it could refer to any time in the next couple of years … !

    I can also remember seeing it there during an ATC trip to London – miserable bus driver would not stop so we could have a look though 🙁

    I always imagined that airframes would have been broken down further to aid removal of steel, copper and other likely contaminants rather than just dipping such a big chunk of TBM straight into the pot …

    I´m going to stay out of this one, because I certainly don´t like the tone.

    Right with you there – too many grey areas in the whole debate.

    Care to guess at how many complaints the number one complainer made? Well, the total amount of complaints was 21.880!

    Thats approx 237 complaints per DAY. The mind boggles.

    Just out of interest C-GDCQ (still with Canadian Reg) was ground running at Cabinda this morning, C-GDFF was where it was 4 weeks ago and looks ‘mothballed’ – cockpit and cabin windows all have internal coverings/blinds in place.

    The ferry flight of C-GDFF to Angola was as follows:

    Jul 12th Toronto to St. Johns 1165 miles

    Jul 12th St. Johns to Azores 1213 miles

    Jul 13th Azores to Dakar 1468 miles

    Jul 13th Dakar to Accra 1213 miles

    Jul 14th Accra to Cabinda 1031 miles

    Fascinating – many thanks!

    Thanks for all the info people. Incidentally HeliMalongo are one of the airlines banned from operating within the EU, but presumably this would have no effect on a delivery flight from the makers?
