So where have they got this aircraft from and what type of 737 is it?
737-400 leased from Travel Service.
Found this link with Google. War Eagle Field . No Pics though.

You couldn’t have looked very hard,because this is the best yet,lots of facts and pictures here(go down the page)(there are further links on the page)—–

That link obviously now goes to a different story about scooter stealing. Can you find the one referred to?

Yes,and no GPS! They are doing it the way of the period–sextant and compass!
Surely there will be a back up,in case the winds aren’t as forecast?
That Vimy has sure done some travelling since 1994!
So I make that about 5 max. They’re hardly tripping you up ,are they?
Do you really think you can buy a replacement cheaply?
OSH – If you go to your insurance company and tell them that they can buy you a replacement Messenger for say 50K or rebuild the wreck for 100K + I am sure the
wreck won’t get rebuilt.
Well,yes,they’re ten a penny on eBay,aren’t they? Come on,there aren’t any replacement Messengers!
I came into this thread thinking it was about WELLINGTON bombers!
(Gedit?)
To say nothing of TRAINERS!
Tesco supermarket trolley,I think. 🙂 :diablo:
(OK,I’m leaving!)
Seriously,they do seem to be pulleys(control cables?)
I should imagine if you look at the commercial price to restore a Messenger to airworthy condition it’s likely to be beyond economical repair.
And how many,do you think,vintage aircraft are restored with commercial values in mind? I don’t think there will be a lot. Most are labours of love,and long may it continue!
OK,I bow to superior knowledge!
The runway at PIK is about 10000ft I think.
Is the 4th one (the one below PIK) LPL?
Don’t think so. Liverpool has two distinct areas,the newer longer runway,and the old runway on a different separate area. I can’t see two separate areas here.
One hell of a runway at PIK!
He’s right though!
Can’t id the others.
Looks like OSH was not being so pessismistic after all.
Pessimistic or not,I made the 900 mile trip! If I was pessimistic,what do you call the guys who live within 50 miles who were leaving the decision to the last minute? I don’t think it was me who was pessimistic! I was merely concerned about putting all that time and expense to waste. I was a little disappointed,but enthusiasm was not dampened,just me!
Supposed to ditching the 757 and going for a couple of 737’s plus the aformentioned L10-11’s.
Pretty sure the planned 737s are ADDITIONAL to the 757.
