Too Loooong
Hi Clarrie
As I understand it, these and other jets of its manafacture have to park E/W because there is no tow bar in Darwin that fits it. So it is taxi in and taxi out only.
I belive it causes no end of headaches for the DIA groundies.
The Antinov does have a tow bar which they carry with them, and may even have one in Darwin now as they are there so often.
Can't help with the engines, im not old enough !
Have a wet, wet
