mmm, nice thought. Since the tanks were fixed we could go beyond the middle East. Remember the 72 with no radome?, I reckon this one makes no difference, you get self-stirring coffee anyway.

Lets have a bit of respect for the Guppy's maiden aunt. They had three engines running at Kemble a week or so back.

Guppy

Former Guppy drivers now enquiring after jobs on N447T-brokers haggling for it-its just like the old days.
As Nineiron says, the 'inside track' is on the 44 Association's website-no rumour there, just fact.
As for the radome, well, the original is now repaired, there is also another one known to be serv so no probs there folks!
Great inventory of parts in Orlando and Hagerstown-together with a bundle of bits in Horley.
Uniforms are pressed, shoes polished, manuals dusted off.Just awaiting th e'off'
Yorky-did you get my pm?

Looks the Old Girl has been on the move as the long term parking spot she occupied was empty last week.
Does this mean that she is finally being prepared to fly again?

It would look nice on the car park in front of Yorkie Towers. Or is that the plan!

Just imagine how many bunks you could get in it and we could always extend the central heating loop to keep the beast warm.

With some Murray Electrics and signs like the Pheonix club, you would sure be on a winner.

Sell the engines to the Belfast mob and the whole deal is payed for! I kid

With six generators producing 300kva, sell to the grid and still have enough for the electric frying pan in the galley!
It could of course also make a lot of money carrying outsize loads as airfreight. Now there's an idea!
