Ground XL aircraft where are they all?

[wantabe_crew]

If you have seen any XL aircraft blocked in like that on Sky news at MAN/EGCC let this site know please.

[myairways]

Today as I was on the crew bus for staff west I seen Two 737-900's and a 737-800 sitting on a remote stand with trucks parked behind them. This was at 17.00. Hope this helps.

[pavil]

theres a 73? next to the zoom at GLA blocked in with a snow plow. sad sight to see one airline sitting like that never mind two

[Blinkz]

There a 737 in Dublin but its not blocked in, just parked in a remote stand.

[WATABENCH]

Is there any real reason to block them in? Its not as if they're going anywhere is it? poor sods, it all seems a bit over kill to me, wish all the best to all XL staff across the country.

[wantabe_crew]

Well just think how much in landing fees XL must still owe this would be the reason to ensure the do not go any where!!

[billyg]

Apparently the Canadian registered 738 at Glasgow is no longer impounded as all outstanding debts have been settled.Aircraft will leave for the states today or tomorrow !

[HZ123]

The debt rests with the administators of XL. The aircraft are leased and owned by another company that will not be responsible for XL debts. It is all a little unneccessary but gives a little power to a BAA goon.

[MattGarner]

Has anyone got any pictures of the aircraft grounded with say like a van behind them or something?

[Buster the Bear]

A number of airframes are apparently grounded outside the UK, caught up in the airline's collapse.

[OliWW]

I know theres a aircraft B738 at Lanzarote

There's
EMA - B738
BRS - 2x B738
MAN - B738, 2x B739,
LGW - 3x B738, 2x B767
GLA - B738
DUB - B738
ACE - B738
NCL - B738
LCA - B738

The leased aircraft like the A330 went back to XL France yesterday/today.

Both TOM B767.200's, bmi A321, Titan B752 are out today bringing passengers back according to the CAA, from there destination and passengers might be able to get on flights with FCA, TOM and TCX + low cost airlines

[nt639]

There is a 767 at SFB

[jhangiani]

Why all the interest in gaining pics of grounded aircraft, i mean for F***Sake it's not the first time this has happened and won't be the last, surely individuals wanting pics of aircraft blocked in, obviously have too much time on their hands, unless you are some individual media mogul trying to get a cheap scoop, this is now history, just wait for the next one to go bust, then if you are that good at media detection, in this case not due to the fact you are having to beg for pics of grounded aircraft, you can have a story hot off the press.

And if it is true that BAA blocked in 737 with a snow plough, then i think it is a sad day, as if somebody is gonna come along, get airside without an airside ID, Walk to a remote stand, start the apu, start the engines and taxi out and go for unauthorised take off, I mean come on BAA Overkill, get a grip on reality, bad enough being searched by shopping mall security coming to work, so if BAA is that suspicious of the aircraft being taken, then they should gaurd it 24 hrs a day, then hey presto they might find that nobody will steal or damage it, after all i mean it is parked within a secured area after all.

[MattGarner]

Well I only asked because I never seen it happen before. I wouldn't even contact the media, I'm only 15 <_<

[daz211]

Give the lad a break, as you see he is only 15.
What has it got to do with you anyway.

[billyg]

The Canadian registered 738 which was at GLA has now departed on an SWG callsign .

[Chidken Sangwich]

"The debt rests with the administators of XL. The aircraft are leased and owned by another company that will not be responsible for XL debts. It is all a little unneccessary but gives a little power to a BAA goon."

WRONG! All debts remain with the Aircraft that have incurred them!

Its the same a driving your car through a speed camera, the car registration is sent the fine!

If the owners (lessors) want their Aircraft released from each Airport then its them that have to stump up the cash for any debts.

[west lakes]

Is there any real reason to block them in?

Just speculating, but is possible it is a legal requirement from some age old law that is still on the UK statute books, which could explain why the one at Dublin is simply parked remotely.

[kevincoy]

With the situation of impounded aircraft across the country, and indeed in other parts of the world, it really does highlight how risky the aircraft leasing business is, especially due to the fact that as mentioned above, that all debts raised by an aircraft, remain with the aircraft.

I can't imagine that there are only a few fuel bills and a couple of landing fee's outstanding on these aircraft, I'd think it's safe to assume that most probably a quarter's worth of debt are outstanding on each machine.

I saw an aircraft (B767) impounded at Birmingham Airport on a remote stand with a snow plough parked behind it in 2005. I believe that it was a shoddy airline setup that sold seats to India but never actually carried out a flight. Others suggest is was on lease to FlyWho which folded, but I never confirmed it.

In response to MattGarner's request, I believe that the Press Association (www.pa.press.net (http://www.pa.press.net)) have some images. A polite email to them may yield some results for you.

Apologies m.garner but the media have been trying a number of underhanded tricks to get info, and as such joining sites such as this and airmech to gain info on such a sad occassion,which turns a sad event into a mockery, the 1700 people that lost their jobs yesterday through no fault of their own just would like the dust to settle so they can move on, these people have lost their jobs in a time of great financial stress and as a result some may become homeless, marriages may breakdown, constant reminders only make people uneasy this is from my own personnal experience in the past, the media do have a job to do which is to report what is going on, but there are means and professional ways of going about their business through the right authoritive channels.

But too quench your curosity i am sure some pics will be posted on the net soon, but believe me your not missing much all you will see is either 73 or 76 with a vehicle parked at the rear end, nothing too exciting :)

So what does happen to the aircraft that are stranded in say Dinard, Sanford etc.?

Do they just sit there until they are bought by someone else? Pure curiosity.



A lot will be owned via leasing or financing companies so when things are settled such as parking etc they will be returned to these companies and moved on to other companies or stored......

Tony

[mary_hinge]

why would the aircraft go to lasham?

A lot of parking space cheaper than most airports, where the aircraft can be put into storage or under care and maintenance.

When the aircraft is placed with another airline, ATC Lasham, a maintenance company based there and at Southend, working with the leasing companies, will re-brand the aircraft into the next operator.

[WATABENCH]

I heard the EMA aircraft was off to Istanbul??

BRS have blocked in their aircraft with tractors....:rolleyes:

[Gulf4uk]

Might seem over the top to some but blocking them in stops them
being moved to another part of field where possibly someone
else makes a claim on them for moneys owed

Can you really see any professional pilot getting on an imponded plane and trying to taxi and take off without clearances, even getting it tugged to another part of the airport requires clearance and I am sure the tug operator would not want to get involved in anything like this either. Just seems a bit overkill to me.

There has been an A320 impounded at Glasgow for ages.

Was there not an incident of an aircraft landing at Prestwick at night with no clearance and no runway lights a while ago?

[jhangiani]

Could not have put it better myself Gulf4uk well put sir, well put:D

Dont think its anyone trying to fly one out there concerned about its
more likely if the Aircraft was movable and towed to another area
Someone owed money might lay claim to it and further problems might
Arise . Surely there is no Aircrew who would risk there LIVES and others
trying to remove an aircraft without lights , fire cover etc its just to

I understand from the British Consulate staff at Sanford on Saturday, that the XL 767/2 stuck there was actually taxiing out when the news of XL's failure broke on Friday 12th September. The aircraft was immediately surrounded by Police vehicles and escorted back to the stand and passengers dis-embarked.

We were among the lucky ones. We flew home to LGW the following day (Saturday) on Luz Air's L1011 Tristar 500 operating a repatriation flight on behalf of Monarch. To say the flight (and the aircraft!) was "basic" is an understatement, but we were all glad to be on board and heading home.

You'd think, wouldn't you - but it's happened before and it WILL happen again, which is why they get blocked in!

Looks like the 73's are on the move at Manchester. Flight deck occupied on stand 249 at approx 1800. Not sure who will handle the flights, certainly not Servisair I expect!!

[opsjockey]

Why not servisair? Our company has been contracted to move a few of the XL a/c, handling is with our preferred handling agent.. in some places this is servisair... if the company moving the MAN based unit have servisair as their contracted agent, it'll be on their own account and re-charged to whoever asked them to the to move the a/c...

[salope]

On this subject, I was intrigued by the aircraft prevented from leaving Sandford.
The Sunday Times has a story that the info leaked out from the crew to the groundstaff, who had the aircraft stopped as XL owed money to the airport.

But my understanding is that few places other than the UK have the legal ability to do this
So was the US distraint legal ?

Pity the crew could not have ignored the requests and continued with the flight.....didnt something like this happen with a Court Line aircraft which managed to escape from Newfoundland the day the company went down ?

[Whitehatter]

I think you will find that the 'blocking in' is more symbolic than anything. Immobilising the asset for legal purposes as aircraft are considered to be mobile assets and there are also obviously laws concerning interference with a moving aircraft.

That's an interesting point for debate. If an airline was to obtain clearances from air traffic control and begin to move an aircraft, could a third party or the airport operator lawfully stop the plane taking off? There are some bits and pieces of aviation law in there which could be open to interpretation.

Guys is it possible to get some photos at Lasham without trespassing or getting in someone's way? Quite a sad sight but one worthy of recording I feel. Anyone give me a heads up? Thanks

[Gulf4uk]

have asked the locals to pop over here and give Information on viewing

Tony

[Buster the Bear]

I cannot remember the name of the road, but it links the road out of Alton up to Odiham and the road out of Alton to Basingstoke. I think it might be called The Avenue.

Anyway, if you are coming via the M3 Jct 5 follow the signs for North Warnborough then Alton. You pass Odiham and about 4 miles later there is a pub on your left called the Golden Pot. Turn right here into The Avenue, drive along for a couple of miles and you will pass the rotting aircraft museum, then you can turn into the gliding club about 1/2mile further on your left. Visitors are welcome inc restaurant and bar. There is a superb viewing area with ATC off to your right.

Come back out and turn left, follow this for 1/2 mile and just before the A339 turn left into a narrow lane with a sign ATC. Drive to the top, but don't stay too long especially if there are movements as you will be moved on. There is a No Parking bay here, you can get good shots, but you are facing South. Step ladder might help?

Drive back out of this lane, at the bottom turn left, then left again toward Alton. Drive around 1.5 miles and there is a sign on your left to the Golden Oak, this is a pub in the village of Lasham. If you drive past the pub keeping it on your right, this will take you toward an access gate.

My advice is to leave your car and walk up. From here you will see those airframes on the South side of the hangar complex.

Some of the XL and the A300 will not be good for photography and as I am a domesticated bear, I seldom head off into woods with a compass. Some might know of country paths which afford views of the Airbus and the 727 wrecks?

I am told that a 5th XL will arrive sometime tomorrow.

well it only takes one "idiot" as you call them to park in the "no parking" bay at the wrong time to ruin it for all the others who obey the rules!! :mad:

[grob103]

I'm a gliding club member at Lasham, and it's certainly been interesting today with what I think may be a record number of jet movements.

Spotters are welcome in the clubhouse area, ie the fenced-in area on the north side, accessed from The Avenue, and clearly signposted with a brown "Lasham Gliding Society" sign.

Car parking for the public is on the left before the barrier.

Spotters are allowed outside of the fenced area if accompanied by a club member, and a tannoy from the office requesting an escort for group of "aircraft enthusiasts" is not unheard of.

Might be appreciated if you were to buy a cup of tea/biscuit/Mars bar while you're there. Speaking personally, I'd be interested if anyone happens to be regularly taking photos of the gliders; I'd love a photo of me taking off or landing.

ATC Lasham are a bit more protective of their aircraft, I wouldn't imagine they'd have a lot of tolerance for members of the public wandering around their bits.

Cheers,

grob103 (who doesn't fly a Grob 103 any more)

[Buster the Bear]

No parking bay, well it is the 'public' side of the barrier and I have stopped there many a time.

I would suggest that this road is public up to the barrier. I was politely asked to move my car, this is the first time ever that this had occurred and of course I did without hesitation.

Toodle my old chum, get a life! My video of the C-GOAF was done with a Police car sat behind me in 'the No Parking bay'. A brief explanation of who I was, what I was doing and why completely satisfied the two coppers on duty. I moved my car down the hill and everyone was totally happy.

I doubt very much if hoards of spotters will descend upon the no parking bay and if they do I am sure most will be completely sensible, unless Toodle you think that most aviation enthusiasts are ******'s?

Here is a bit of advice, if the rotating high resolution beacon is rotating over at ATC, this means that there is a movement imminent, so driving up this lane should be discouraged. You can easily see this beacon from the gliding club.

If you also read my advice about the Royal Oak, you would then understand that I am only advocating viewing aircraft at Lasham sensibly!

Anyway, what do I know about the safe operation of airports and the benefits of allowing the public some access to view aviation? (if you only knew)!

In my view, Lasham Gliding Club have just about got the balance 100% correct (as owners of this airfield).

Toodle, enjoy the traffic jams and be kind to the majority of idiot aviation enthusiasts popping into Lasham to witness the demise of yet another giant in UK aviation, but DON'T PARK IN THE 'NO PARKING' BAY! I will up there flogging sarnies and squash!

[Toodle]

Having taken the time to read through the whole post it seems Buster, who suggested parking in a "no parking bay" at Lasham is a friend of Gulf4uk!!

hi

What in said is my opinion what others do is there problem But they should
remember it could cause problems for others.
What does annoy me is the Sarcastic comments on these forums .

We have had problems at Lasham . FARNBOROUGH and other places people parking in wrong places blocking Fire gates LITTER Damage to fences etc
We can remind people not to do it but its down to them in the end yes
these people should no better it amazes me that people still do it . I get
enough problems parking everyday even when my vehicle has the correct
Disabled badge on it I rarely can get a bay I Can park LEGALLY in no parking areas but I dont do it EVER . But when anyone complains you get Abuse and
Sarcastic comments. All I say is please dont make Waves for others

Tony

[Toodle]

Well said Tony, I agree whole hartedly with what you say... and yes Busters last post was somewhat sacrastic! still never mind thats just Buster I suppose! what he doesn't seem to understand, perhaps he's just naive or perhaps its just stupidity, is that by saying that its ok to park in bay marked "No Parking" to a Forum with over 257,000 members is just asking for trouble. Perhaps when the barrier is moved down to the bottom of this lane will be the day that he will rue ever advising it!!

[sunnybunny]

Question for Lasham locals. Looking at Lasham airfield on Google maps there appears to be hangers towards the SW corner. Presumably these are the maintenance facility. In front of one is a 4 engined jet aircraft, which would appear to be too large to fit past buildings by the tarmac.

Has it been there a long time or does it fit?
