Actually it will be the third time. First F-BVFB that is currently on display at the Sinshiem Museum in Germany (travelled on the Rhein), and then also G-BOAD, that is displayed at the Intrepid Museum in NYC (travelled across the Harbour in NYC)
Paxing All Over The World
AB: "Ouch... I hope there was no-one hurt by the one they knocked off the edge." B-i-g Laugh 
I started to look at the pics of AA but the moment I saw her nose gone and wings clipped - I closed the page. I'll wait to see her when she is back in one peice, it hurts too much to see her like that. I am planning a pilgramage to MAN when G-BOAC is ready, as she was 'mine'.
