Drifting my own thread here but I remember that sequence in the Britannia hangar. The then Technical Director, Bernard Newton, was interviewed. I remember him saying something like, 'once the maintenance on this aircraft is completed, I would defy anybody to find any significant difference between it and a brand new 737'. At the time I thought nothing of that but it seems quite a bold claim thirty-odd years later. Perhaps AVRN was the aircraft that KT leased for that brief period - 'have this one. It's as good as new. No, really...'
WHBM. I've noticed in your various posts over the years you use terms like 'depreciated' and 'residual value'. Can you please explain what these mean in an airlines context ? I'm no accountant! Thankyou.
