I doubt that many of our readers will have heard of Edgar Wallace, or even Paul Robeson!!

[tflier]

Robeson, along with a generation of blacks caught up in the whirlwind events of the 1930s, saw the battle against racism as indivisible from the battle against capitalism. He was always scarred with Stalinist politics. But we should remember him as a singer, an artist and a tireless class warrior.

Where's Sanders?

As far away as possible, with any luck . . .

[Engineer]

DD what are you doing these days Donnie bound and what about DT is he still at DHL?

[fergineer]

And keeping out of trouble too DD. Life is still good out here.

[Dengue_Dude]

Engineer:

Yep, still near DSA and working on behalf of a rather large aerospace company. DT still resides at BZZ for the time being.

Fergi:

Out in your neck of the woods (CHC) in February as No1 daughter has given in and decided to make us grand parents.

The last I heard (earlier this year), was that Andrew DID turn his back on the surviving pilot of the Shanghai crash.

My point was that we were NEVER covered by personal insurance when we flew - just the assurance that ''Andrew will look after you''.

It would appear not, it my information was true.

Avient under the microscope

Doesn't appear things are looking very good at the moment.
A heavy landing in Dakar - with their one an only MD11F - damaging engine Nbr#2 with a long AOG before 2 engine ferry to Liege for more MX.. Now I hear they've lost / lost a thrust reverser on the last flight with some structural damage.. Has anyone else heard any more???

SMJ-OPS

Their only MD11 (Z-BVT) flew SMJ504F on the 29th of September which could have been the ferryflight you described. I do not know DEP/DEST of that flight. It then operated SMJ217 (Khartoum-Liege) on the 1st of October and it was seen sitting on the ramp on both the 2nd and 3rd of October.

DC10 Z-ALT operated flight SMJ501 on the 1st of October.

[relieved]

Hope all crews are OK. Something will eventually happen again, just a question of time, unless they fold.

[Flightmech]

Would love to see the logbook of that airplane. Although my bet is that it's clean as a whistle. Not a DMI in sight :-0

Photoshop is your friend . . . again and again

MD-11 was planned to depart this morning, back to stand...

[africa man]
