Yes I was thinking the same. The author has used some mighty words in the description for what is basically a bridge across a dual carriageway. Also explains nicely why the bridge did not contain a couple of arches as that would have symbolised a bumpy landing.

The bridge was moved without being painted first. Either it will need scaffolding again or someone with a good head for heights will be needed with a mega cherrypicker. I assume the last option would need overnight road closures.

Gulfstream - whilst alot if engineering work is going to the new facility at Farnborough, parts is staying at Luton. Backup stock which was held in a warehouse near Heathrow has gone to Amsterdam. Will the parts work keep their hangar lease from Signature going?

My contact has told me that Gulfstream are having real problems in getting staff to work in Farnborough which is causing them issues.

Doesn't surprise me. Just look at property prices around that area.

From my sources Gulfstream won't be doing 650s here but everything else should stay as per usual.

Does anyone on this forum have contacts in either Ops or the Fire Team? I'm trying to find someone who may be kind enough to remove an HF aerial from the old Redcoat Britannia to help with the restoration of G-ANCF at Speke.

My neighbour was returning on a Wizz flight from Romania, which according to him was full of Roma Gypsies although I am not sure this is relevant to the story. The Captain made an announcement that a stewardess mobile phone had gone missing and that no one was going to be allowed off the flight until it had been found. Sure enough when the phone hadn’t turned up the police boarded the flight as the Captain wanted all the passengers searched which they refused to do. After a stand off the passengers were allowed to disembark.

Stockholm was dropped - so Verona fills that gap. Pula, I'm not sure at the moment
