Does anyone know anythig more about that African operator going to be going out of Gatwick, Heathrow and Manston.
Apparently they have MD DC10's delivered this week on a special deal from Boeing at Manston airport and have a fleet of old DC 8's in Africa.
They are planning from what I hear to fly DC 10's from the three London airports (mostly Gatwick and Manston) to Lagos and then use this as a hub to all over Africa using the old DC8's and some other bangers. No sound restrictions over most of Africa so they can fly them with ease, or so I was told by email.
At present they have a few of the aircraft at Manston getting ready.
SO does anyone know anything more on this?
