It did arrive at midday and I'm not sure what information Dr Illitout has that allows him to make an informed opinion about the RJX or its reliability.
If his posts are designed to irritate and annoy - it has worked.
Rockwell - the flypast was fast considering it was done with flap 18
A lot of people at BAE put in a lot effort under threat of redundancy to get this aircraft preserved (along with people at MAN) and all that seems to happen on these forums is people take the p**s.
I thought this forum was for people who enjoyed aviation hisory and nostalgia for what it is (although I agree with Rockwell that it is disappointing to see the thread moved).
The Irish press may find the 146 "pathetic" - did they know their national airline flys them?
It was sad day for the UK aviation industry and I think the aircraft was given a decent send-off and it was nice to find people in the aviation business in the UK who are actually interested and enthusiastic about what they are doing.
