Guppy

[Nineiron]

Keen ears would again have heard the unmistakable sound of Rolls Royce Tynes being spooled up at Hurn this week.
With long-awaited engine parts having arrived, a flurry of activity resulted in a the Conroy Guppy being given a healthy dose of TLC. A return to commercial service is anticipated in the new year.

[Waldo.P]

How many engines were running?.

[Nineiron]

All four. An informed source tells me that they started 'as if just delivered by Rolls'

[Conc]

I have always been facinated by the Guppy so look forward to seeing her fly again. Good luck to everyone involved!

[Jack.D]

When are all four Tynes going to be turning again?

[Nineiron]

The Guppy has gone from its long term parking position at Bournemouth.
Rio, Singapore, Oz and a museum have all been suggested!

Rumour has it is that it is joining the Air Foyle Heavylift fleet under thier control although it was being moved the other day and went AOG under tow

VEEPS, Hi
Since when did they ever tell the BUF's?
My last info was that Farhad Azima owned the Guppy and you will know that Farhad was frequently in with Hales and Pace in the last desperate year to save HeavyLift. It was like musical chairs, or offices, downstairs in that period. (HLA was downstairs and AF upstairs in the 'new' offices). So, as you recently told me that H&P are still around, then it would make sense that AFH would market the Gupp.
Do they still have such an overstaffed commercial dept? Best wishes in your search for pastures new!

Hey!!! Who's taking my bleedin' name(s) in vain??!! If those 2 delightful characters are back in business outside of AFH, then I shall be driving the Scoobie down to have a quiet word with them....
