I have been reading the various opinions on the situation regarding the Conroy Guppy which continues to be interned at Bournemouth.
I understand that the REAL situation is far removed from the speculation and that the new operators of the aircraft are now gearing up for departure.
What IS known is that the CL44 Association, whose webpages are freely available, actually name the operating crew. Surely they would not go that far if it were fiction?
As far as a loadmaster is concerned, I read that Heavylift Cargo Airlines employ no-one as loadmaster, preferring to utilise the operating crew to load etc.
If that's good enough for the Belfast, it is surely the same for the Guppy.
Hope to see some old 44-ites in Piccadilly later this year.
