Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Heard about this from the newsletter on Friday.
Devastating news but it will make me make sure I dont miss any opportunities to see her flying next year.

Once again the Daily Fail gets it wrong...it's because the airframe needs work to keep it compliant with the standards, and they only have the engines that are currently install to fly with. Nothing to do with restoration costs...they've done that!

And why though don't they have spare engine??

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Passengers and crew on two commercial planes use binoculars to help find a missing yachtsman off Australia.
An Air Canada plane and an Air New Zealand aircraft swooped down to 4,000ft to assist rescuers in the search for the solo yachtsman who had activated his emergency beacon.

A great show for us though!

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
A Jet2 flight has to evacuate at Glasgow this morning.
Unbelievably a complete moron decides to stand at the bottom of the chute and record the evacuation LINK
The sooner they start prosecuting these pratts with mobiles the better.

Hope Concorde has been properly secured by the Americans, it's the only SST and the fleet can't be replaced.
Would be a shame if the wind got under the large delta wings because if the plane leaves the ground chances are it will be written off and unlike houses it can't be replaced.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Airbus will be flying an A380 in to East Midlands tomorrow (Friday) testing new RR engines.
Landing at EMA around 8.30am and then doing a flypast over RR Derby around 2pm.
