Hi all
there was an short artical on Marshals plans for "Snoopy" in Flight international two weeks ago. According to the artical they will be removing the barbers pole and overhead radome before converting it into th A400M engine test bed. So when they have finished with her she will not be the plane we all know and love!!!.

On a slightly different note the toy company Corgi are releasing a limited edition Buccaneer in R.A.E. livery! They have done a few others in the past. (Comet, Viscount, C-47 and the Tornado). I just hope that the do Seaking mk4 ZB507!

Rgds Dr.I

P.S. any ex apprentices out there I will be at the reunion in September, look out for the drunk with a R.A.E. tie on!!
