I think when I bought something for around £10 on ebay, there was a £1 or so charge added on top of it. Hope this helps.

Wow it really is comeing together now! Can’t wait to see that thing in the air, especially in FedEx colours!:D

I believe Stansted is getting ready to adapt for the A380’s needs, due to FedEx having it’s British base here. I think they are only planning it for a few stands, and just a selection of taxiways will be made to handle it.

Yes that first one is a very nice, orignal idea, When I’m sitting on an aircraft, I always wonder what part of the livery is actually on the outside next to my window. Sometimes I can work it out by counting the number of windows, but I still find it interesting!

I think Russian pilots tend to try and bend the rules and regulations quite a lot of the time. Usually, an engine failure would mean a landing at the nearest suitable airport, but this does not seem to be the case. My dad was telling me how he once had to call the rangers and airport police when the captain of a Tu-154 (don’t know airline) threatened to ‘pull the plug’ on the waste tanks, all on to the apron. My dad was explaining how the pilots had to request facilities such as the ones to take the waste out of aircraft, but the pilot wouldn’t listen. He was also saying how all the tyres were so worn out that they were actually ropey! And bits of what looked like string were hanging out of them. It wasn’t a surprise that the airfield authorities decided to ground the aircraft!

Now that’d be good to see! Sandy? Do you reckon you’ve got time to draw up what it might look like? Thanks 😀

Norwich?
