It appears to simply be something new to read. Nothing wrong with that.

It makes a very refreshing change from the ad-nauseum Atlas/Polar shin-kicking contest

Well, perhaps "747guru" could give us some factual details, instead of just a vague empty statement?

Factual Details as requested

Why so defensive all the time guys? I was merely passing on info.

I agree, "Latest News" may have been a better forum than "Freight Dogs" for this item.

Anyway, they say the camera never lies.....here is a photo....from an insider, I dont know?

dont be so negative boys,
Belgians used to go on strike,nowadys they just strike things, thats a steady improvement.
The building was afterall quite small, i would have overlooked it also.
