Does anyone know the current location of Atlantic Airlines BAe ATP G-OAAF?

G-OAAF

It's at Coventry.

[Geo73]

Thanks 2port.

Do you know if it is currently out of service?

[2port]

I suppose it depends on the definition of "out of service".
It hasn't flown for a couple of weeks, but that's probably due to lack of route availability rather than unserviceability.

seriously looking out to contract a 748 IP to train pilots. Could do with twice a year contract for checks on the pilots. also seriously looking for 748 pilots to do a year round flying cargo flights. ciao.

BAE748S

ANY HS748S pending ferry at the moment?I saw that N748D went to Southend for scrap??

Those two ATPs were in the fleet of Biman Bangladesh Airlines and were sold off at dirt cheap prices (along with many many spares and GSE) in the early 2000 ( I heard). And I actually had an opportunity on two occasions during the last 2 years to visit those 2 ATPs in Blackpool hangar owned by Aircraft Maintenance Services (subsidiary of IAP, Australia?). They were under heavy maintenance then. Looked great to me.

ATP Tech info request

Apologies for being slightly off topic but I have acquired a pair of ATP control columns/yokes which were mounted on a homemade display stand(!). I'd like to connect them back together and would really appreciate it if someone could send me the relevant pages from the BAE maintenance manual.

I'm particularly interested in the cables and pulleys that connect the roll axis, and also how the whole assembly is fastened to the flightdeck or floor structure.

Thanks
