Plane has gone, anybody see it go? Floated off on a barge to the north Royal Dock area, location Red Bull temporary airfield. Repair will take 14 weeks and a temporary hangar will be erected.

Where abouts was the Red Bull temporary airfield? And will it do test flights at LCY?
Thought ‘Ouch My **** Hurts’ would be a great title :rolleyes: 😀

Yeh the manager of the aero club owns one. It is a regular on the show circuit.

Thanks Luke mate:D Could not remember if there was one there or not.

They are all ex BA to the best of my knowledge ? And BA, along with BAE and Boeing proposed to offload their current 767’s for conversion to KC-767 tankers and supply to the RAF to replace the current Tristar and VC-10 tankers.

In the end the RAF opted for the A330 tanker, which should start to enter service in a couple of years.

Yeah that going to be cool an A330 in RAF Colours alongside VC-10’s and Timmys 😀

good information the TriStar’s are gonna be converted to “glass” flightdecks!

SO that could give them longer life flying in the RAF?

The Dunkirk bit is really a backdrop and the plot doesn’t concentrate on it too much at all, rather James McAvoy’s character longing to see Keira again desoite what her little sister did! Nothing like Pearl harbour in effect.

Thanks Robin:cool: Thats looks a nice set there Barry.

In a similar case, Kent County Council have said that they would prefer Kent International Airport to be developed over Lydd Airport, even though Lydd has a wider catchment area in terms of passengers, it is close to natural wetlands and marshes, so the damage caused by the development of services and further expansion there would be much worse than at Kent International Airport…James (Manston Airport) will certainly agree, I am sure!:D

Yes I do Jon plus KIA is already there and set for take off as lydd wanna have the runway bigger taxi ways and a new ramp etc And the natural wetlands and marshes are very nice Scenery to look at aswel as the wildlife and RH&DR. Be doomed by low 737 aircraft.

Glasgow Man I dear you to email that to the Torys if not I will :diablo: 😀

By the way a good freind of mine is a training captain on the RAF VC-10 fleet he says the “best” ex airline Supers are the ex East African aircraft (they have lower hours) and were fitted with the cargo door as standard.He says the ex BA ones are not that good and are high houred!!:D

At least they are still going strong 😀 and are BAe Systems supporting the VC-10?

James

Some off there Tristars are ex BA?
