12 August 2007 update
Hi all,
Today the nose landing gear has begun to be stripped of it’s paint, needs to be finished later this week as the paint stripper ran out. The crew door had another coat of black and the ladders put back into place looking rather yellow. The other set of crew ladders had primer and yellow gloss applied, the ladder rungs have been taken off for a smart up.
The Bloodhound missile has had a coat of paint and work has begun on the Lightning (thats were the paint stripper ended up).
Didnt happen to see at Mytravel A320 that seemed to operate a go-around from 07 then land on 25 in the afternoon did you? Came on a strange course directly over my estate about 1ish.
Funny enough…………
25 was in use all day with only a few take off’s and landings on 07, the Air France landed on 07 and the Cimber CRJ departed on 07, probably due to CPH being in that direction and virtually no surface wind yesterday so there was a bit flexibility when traffic was a bit thin.
RAF Bolumer mate on the Northumberland coast.
The first, ZH541, which landed is from 22 sqn based at RAF St Mawgan, Cornwall. I have no idea why it was here.
Thanks very much Adam 🙂
I sure did get the Green FlyBe lukey, see below, the weather was rubbish when it came in.






Thanks for the comments 🙂
I havent been up for a while and at the beginning of the Summer season A321’s were in use on the Friday morning flights. The 6th of July flight was flown by TC-OAK. A300’s are used on the evening flights.
Your photos aren’t showing for me? :confused:
I’m off to the BAPC meeting at Duxford on saturday, so there will probably be no updates for a few days while I recover……unless Brittania can keep you updated regarding the Vulcan, etc.
I’ll try my best to keep everybody up to date with the Vulcan progress.
Here’s some photos of the entrance door progress. The first shows the door before any work, the second shows the door primed and lastly with the first coat of black. Sorry LL, I didn’t take a photo of the Auster.
Looking at news reports the wreck is a Chinook.
Just the bloke! Bring some wet and dry with you… You guys have the option of restoring the entrance ladders and the entrance door of the Vulcan (the internal laders and grab handles on the ejector seats need the same treatment), or the rather dubious pleasure of polishing the port side of the F86D…… Not sure what else at the minute!
Right, I’ll bring some wet and dry along with me and we can start on the Vulcan ladders and door. Maybe we could split and do the F86D too, see what happens.
no more gravel!!!!!
Great, can’t tell you how pleased I am! 🙂
Will there be much for us, the academy lot, to do on Tuesday? I’m sick of shifting gravel 😀
If it wasn’t a football charter it could well have been operating for Cyprus from Larnaca.
Got it, it was for Cyprus Airways. Thanks Sam.
Was this the 757 that in at NCL covering for a poorly flyjet 757 this week?
It sure was.
I ate it…….. and the toad…….
Suppose your fish and chips were nicer the other night 😀
I think some of the lads are coming back down tommorow, I’ll be back on Monday with the rest of them.
and an evil killing machine which was fine until I prodded it. It bit me.
You didn’t kill it did you? :rolleyes:
