Belfast/slow heading for the air??

[VP8]

Heard a rumour that BEPS is getting a few props hung on the engines

Is the Old Gal finally leaving these shores??

VEEPS

[antonovman]

hey VEEPS have you read your emails lately ?

[Bigt]

Is it heading south - down under - to join the other one?

or is it joining the CL-44-O?

[Phileas Fogg]

But HLA barely had enough engines to keep one Belfast in the air so where have these extra engines seemingly appeared from, or did HLA have it wrong and there were plenty of engines available all along?

[VP8]

Allegedly thay have 3 engines hung expecting 4th this week followed by rest of props

Heyup Chuck

Same job, different company / different location.....Ruslan International / Endeavour House

ADB split from AFH after contract ended

look,s like they have had three engines in for sometime now & Props no,s 1 & 2 have been fitted over the last few day,s.It would be great to see her fly again along with the 707 which is coming along.

[Phileas Fogg]

VEEPS,
Ah but does Endeavour House have a fire escape with security cameras to train on the BBQ to establish, from sitting indoors, when the BBQ has caught fire?

May one presume that Ruslan is a combination of ADB & VDA?

I'm off to Ukraine again in 3 weeks from now but not travelling via Kiev to experience the joys of an AN-24, flying direct into Dnepropetrovsk on a Fokker 70 ..... absolute joy!

Phileas Fogg, Hi
To answer your question re serviceable engines, the problem with HLA was that they had to follow CAA directives to TBO's on the Tyne (about 4000 hrs). However RR lifed the Tyne for about 7000 hrs and other regulatory authorities will accept that..well, some will!
VEEP's, Brgds, Mate

[Phileas Fogg]

OK J.R. now I understand, it was the Campaign Against Aviation

[Hockham Admiral]

Phileas, what's with "was"?

[Phileas Fogg]

OK, 'is', 'shall always be' etc.

Do you remember 'Swampy'? Aaah, the good ole days

[Chille Con Carnie]

If anyone,s interested Belfast had No,1 prop turning today.Hopefully there be more whining Tyne,s shortly.
707 looks great with her new old paint livery,QANTAS AUSTRALIAS OVERSEAS AIRLINE.

[freightdoggy dog]

Sounds like a job for WAH WAH to take down to Aus!

Tech stopping at the Turkish bath houses and Thai massage palours

Could even get Swallow back from digging his allotment !

[HZ123]

On an admin issue how does the aircraft stand in respect of its registration. Who is the AOC for it and will it have to leave the UK on another register?

[The AvgasDinosaur]

It would make sense for her to go 9L- Sierra Leone like her sister.
As for Tyne overhauls who does the tynes in the Atlantic ASW aircraft ?
Be lucky

[The AvgasDinosaur]

I just hope There is enough work for both beasties and she is not just to replace the first one out there. Does anyone know how busy they are out there heard they had a couple of Boeing 727s on line too?
Be lucky
