AFX
AFX Cargo STILL exists as a freight company, but the airline bankrupt and AOC suspended for a long time now.
The jumbo at LHR unable to move due to lack of MX records and airwirthiness cert cannot, repeat cannot be granted.
Your right, they acquired the former Dunlop Aviation Tyres workshop at Hatton Cross about 18 months ago.
Have you seen the Hiloader and engine stand outside rotting in the elements??

Have passed through Hatton Cross a few times in the last three months.... nothing happening at AFX office..... until last week.
The doors were all open and people were knocking about. There was at least one AFX logo'd Transit inside, and a few people looking at that.
Don't have any info on it, but at least there has been some signs of life.
Question is, I know alot of guys who would be sceptical about flying for these guys again, even though work is work.
Will watch this space with interest.

TRIAL FLIGHT??
Around 1730hrs on Monday this week I observed a white B747-200F landing at LHR on 09L.
I was not close enough to see reg but this is possible it could have been the AFX aircraft completing a trial flight ???
Could anyone quantify/clarify this.
No sked arrivals or departures for B742F on Mondays at LHR.
Any help on clarification or if you saw this aircraft please post...

AIRCRAFT GONE FROM LHR!!!
The AFX jumbo which has been parked for months has moved away, presumed at another airport now. There is a UAE B747SP sitting in its place.
This might just confirm the sighting of a white B742F on finals to 09L earlier this week.
Any other news on this welcome.

4 crews are halfway through refresher. Sim is organised. GGINTL is being maintained. First trips are planned - out to HKG.
You won't find a better bunch of flight crew and maintainers. Who said life was always easy? Good luck AFX.[COLOR=green]
