Heard some loadies are not exactly fighting to get back on this bird. Having said that, if its choice between a job in ops or allowances? Still it might be better than wearing a skirt!:eek:

[Nopax,thanx]

All our loadies wear skirts anyway.....:rolleyes:

[Nopax,thanx]

Just seen a bit in the Stansted Airport free newspaper...they say it could be headed to the UK in mid-June. Go on , girl!!!

[Fokkerwokker]

There is a rumour that none other than F/E Dave (TCP) Priest will be tweaking tits and knobs on the panel. Might make some Marmite sarnies and take a flask of tea to watch its arrival. Pse keep us posted on its ETA ta!

[RampTramp]

Not 'wiggly amps' Priesty! Ah! Transmeridian!

[freightdoggy dog]

And Wah Wah might just pen the old girl orf ! given enough folding stuff.:)

[Basil]

Well hello, Fokker old boy :)

Priesty seems to be taking a long time to make it go - perhaps "She doesn't like the sky!" :D

Edited to get the Focking spelling write!

It's true! soon the dulcet tones of T.C.P. will grace the airways once again. Watch this page for progress news. The beast is currently in Tennessee receiving T.L.C. from the great man himself, prior to it's flight to TeesSide

[Basil]

<<WTF RU?? >>

Secret! (but not Squirrel:) )

[HissingSid]

TO ALL INTERESTED , the project is progressing well. Guess who is going to be E2 on the beast?
First prize for the correct answer :--- A 12hr. sector on the inaugral flight. Second prize a night stop in KHI.
Luv from HissingSid.

[canberra]

bit confused. when you say a guppy what do you mean? i was under the impression that guppys were based on boeing stratocruisers,but from what i here the aircraft your on about is a cl44 and as far as i know that aint a guppy!

[Engineer]

Seeing is believing (http://www.oldprops.f9.co.uk/Canadair%20CL44.htm)

Spent many hours onboard in Swallow's nest wonder if it is still there?

[HissingSid]

Congrtulations Startiri
You have won FIRST PRIZE!!!
Unfortunatly the inaugaral flight is now TBN. Therefore you may claim the consolation prize of a night stop in Karachi.

[GotTheTshirt]

Priest as FE ??

Is there no age limit for F.E.'s:D :D

[arthur harbrow]

There is a very interesting video Swingtail featuring the CL44.

[Piece of Cake]

It's official, the CL44 is scheduled to arrive in the UK this weekend. Starting from 12th Aug it will be flying on behalf of a cargo airline based in the UK...;)

It won't be the only Tyne powered beast around as the mighty Belfast is still going strong!:)

[Conc]

Any idea who the aircraft is going to be working for and where it will be based?

[Piece of Cake]

It (9G-CLA) will be flying into MME from Smyrna. Can't say where it will finally be based yet. It is going to be operating on behalf of the people who operate the Belfast:rolleyes:

There is also a nice picture of it in this months (August) issue of PILOT magazine on page 70.

[Startri]

P of C

Do not know where you are getting your information from but I think 13/8/02 will be the earliest departure from Smyrna and I would think that commercial availability some time after that.

[Startri]

I am afraid the rejuvenated lady has decided to spend another 1 - 2 weeks here, in Smyrna, taking in more sun before she ventures across the Atlantic.

So, HissingSid, could you let me have TCP's travel company's address to find out visa requirements for the second prize. Perhaps you could E-mail it to me.

Startri:rolleyes:

[HissingSid]

Startri

Sadly,TCP has decamped to the Orient taking all the funds with him. Therefore I am unable to process your visa request.
You may attempt to contact him at the previous address,[email protected] If you do make contact please ask him to remember to send me the combination for the safe at Harrods.
