Fantastic, and some sad images. Seeing those 62s is enough to make you weep:(………..well it does me;) Again, great shots.

Great shots rab. Look forward to the next ones!

Great images Rob. More anytime please!:)

Anymouse. Many thanks for taking the time to post that very interesting information here. I’m pretty sure that some years ago I took an inter island flight in the Canaries on one of these. I think it was operated by Aviaco? If anyone has any idea on the likely operator I’d be pleased to know.

Had a similar take off to that on a JAT DC9 out of LHR . I don’t know which was more unnerving, the sudden and very noticeable increase in engine noise, and I was in the fwd part of the cabin, the lightening or the spectacle and sound of a pregnant woman nearby slamming the window with her hands and elbow shouting and screaming….did a lot to cheer up fellow nervous fliers. This resulted in a couple of the cabin crew leaving their jump seats very early in the climb out to try to calm/restrain her. The rotten thing was that the weather was just the b****y same in DBV

Aircraft is ATR 42, c/n 371, YV1010.:(

Now reported that there are 13 fatalities.

Interesting that on the CNN page the hotel clerk witness seems to be saying there may have been a problem before the aircraft made contact with the power lines. Still, speculation is easy. Condolences to the victims and families:(

Absolutely! It was a great trip! And so far you’ve only seen half of my catch!

It’s gonna get better as well. A day later I was in the final approach, and saw a Rossiya IL62 in the final approach. It did two approaches actually, must have been a training flight.

Those shots will follow in a day or two. First I am gonna do the Domodedovo air-side photos (lot’s of stored Ilyushins). Then two threads for Vnukovo landside and Domodedovo landside.

i really look forward to seeing them. I always remember when I was working a Cubana IL62M as a T/O seeing it deploy the reverse thrust ‘buckets’ as it crossed the threshold with the nose dropping sharply as a result.

channel 4 have dicided to spend the budget on drama instead – the reason you are getting this is england 86 presently !!

and whatever they have in the pipeline later

posibly a return to the channels early days when it produced some superb gritty dramas !!

We can but hope………….
