Can anybody shed some light on the new Freight Company owned by the boss of the Minardi F1 Team that is going to be flying 3, 747-200F aircraft from Melbourne to the USA.
Is this a rumour or a fact?

It is European Aviation based Bournemouth UK flying ex-BA B747-200, converted to a combi for the teams and the cars.
Unlikely that they will be full -200F unless he has wet leased one in from Polar or the likes.
EAC own and fly several ex-BA Rolls Royce powered dash 236s in various colorful liveries.

only one is a combi for the f1 transfers. at least 2 others are all pax config.
Need 7-8 747F for one Grand Prix. Cargolux will be flying 3 or 4 for the YMX Grand Prix this year. Will be in STN & MUC to load for the race, then bring them back again afterwards.
