Question L188
G'day can anyone tell me what a L188 is? CX operated them from 1959 to 1966.

Also keen to know what power plant is on the new 744 pax and power plants on the freighter fleet?

Cheers

Magnificent aeroplane.
Have heard it described as "the first aircraft to have the wings entirely embedded in the engines".

The new B744 pax (B-HKD,HKE) formerly flew with SQ, so they are powered by PW 4056.

The B747 Classic freighters have RB211-524C2 (51,500 lbs)/ RB211-524D4 (53,110 lbs)

All the best!

Thanks, Hotdog!

Pantyripper: Both B-HKD and B-HKE are now in service, the third ex-SQ 744 (B-HKF) will arrive in Dec 2005 according to www.cathaytalk.com
