Thanks very much.. It was definitely asscending and headed along the path they all take for the Atlantic crossing.. The landing stack is way off in the distance on the otherside of the motorway. Hey I’m a Luton boy.. Those gulfstreams will be a never ending theme :p

ciao!

Great stuff:):)

That sounds a little more optimistic! Not so positive is the presence of the PPV in your coalition government, but then as I’m not a Dutch citizen, it could be rightly argued that its none of my business. Please keep us posted on the rescue plan. Thanks.

I’m so sad to hear this news. Is there any chance that it can be saved as a going concern? Collections such as these need to be kept together. It would be nice to think that KLM and perhaps the Dutch Government could be involved in a rescue, but I guess that’s wishful thinking on my part. I was involved with the Duxford museum for around 10 years, on the restoration and upkeep of the Monarch Bristol Britannia that is on display there. I know how we volunteers would have felt had we found ourselves in the same circumstances as the poor folk at Lelystad. I sincerely hope that a solution can be found in this matter.

Some cracking shots. I just love those piston propliners, especially the Connies and DC6s. Thanks for sharing.

Price? Just a theory:diablo:

Some very nice shots there. That Malaysian livery sure looks tired these days.

CD, you really seem to have a handle on this, so I’ll ask you. Why were these, or similar rules and regs not imposed at the birth of the Euro. IMO it looks as though this is another attempt by EU politicians, to bolt the stable door, well after the horse has become but a distant memory. Who had the most input into the original formulation for the single currency, was it qualified economists and financial ‘wizz kids’ or myopic, self serving politicians? Personally, I suspect it was the latter, but I’m more than happy to be corrected. Sorry its answering your well thought out question with another.

Ppp, grateful to you. Interesting times.
