Yea she is – well she was as of last monday where she was seen at LBA!
No – the aircraft will probably have all arrived back at base by 1am, and not start departing until around 6am i would imagine, thats certainly the case with most other lo-cos!
that doesnt really surprise me in the slightest! Aircraft dont make money by sitting on the ground!
great shots – rock on Sheds!
I bet those strech DC-8s would be quite easy to put out of trim in a cargo config with such a long body!
Excellent news – Manchester certainly seem to be very active now in seeking Airliners for its museum/AVP area, a great addition to the RJX and Concorde!
I wonder how many daily secotrs those DUB based machines must do in a day – all the Uk flights will bne under an hours flight, with a 20-40 mins turnaround each time, could theroetically be as high as 12 i suppose?
Does that spell the end for your previously travelled 146 flights in the country?
If you do go to the airbus facory beware as the tours in English often become booked up i have heard, just thought i would pass it on so you dont end up dissapointed!
Quite a productive day in the end it seems with the Hercs as well!
Uk or foreign? UK try the CAA database known as G-INFO, other country databases are available for most countries.
Great stuff – especially the last one – wonder how often the Daks go into LGW and LHR nowadays!
I wonder also if the PIA B747 in the top piccy is still in service with them! Suppose its quite possable!
Good stuff – always like to see something differant to the usual UK scenes!
Arthur, srs 2A 748s can carry over 6000kgs – i think the top within our compqny is in the region of 6380? Not sure about those of other operators, or the srs 2B aircraft.
Not that i dislike the Fokkers – have been onboard several, but not flown on one yet.
I have however flown on the AN26, RA26120 last october which was an awesome experiance, up to Billund and onto Lidkoping, then direct back to the UK – an eyeopening evening to say the least, and hopefully i can get another trip onboard one in the near future!
Really am likeing the bmi Fokker 100 at the top, Leeds arrival most probably?
Looks like fire presence at the TU154 in the background too?
