747 F's
As a resident at LHR it is interesting to speculate as to what AFX are doing. Having already got two 74's static it appears that the ex Korean is parked and has been so for the last couple of weeks. Parking fees must be enormous so how if they ever restart ops can they make a profit, especially from LHR when you are competing against a massive daily market.

Ex Korean 74F
The new? Korean has taken up the position of the AFX74 that has I assumed departed, as an LHR watcher from across the road. what is the latest because hire costs and parking fees are the only items earning revenue.

There was word that Caribjet who have a bunch of L1011F were going to subcontract out for a UK based operation. But Manston was mentioned as a base and their L1011F freighters have been seen there???

Xmas
Are some of these rumours coming out of Xmas crackers. Surely if AFX has trouble running / filling two 74's how on earth are they going to fill up 8 1011's. I did ask the other day what is happening with the Korean 74 which has now taken up the same position as the departed AFX liveried freighter.

Unlike others on Pprune, I spend my time doing other things. And, like others, I'm interested to see what happens at AFX. I am not an ex employee, but, I do know who was working there up until recently. The potential for AFX is great, but only with the right people at the helm. That's why I enquire as I do :o
AFX at manston
Nope!
