VC10 + Duty Hours = ?
|
Quite a few less than a few weeks ago?
"Does this mean that all the VC-10 Captains are getting their jobs back, after learning of their losses a few weeks ago? BW" (taken from Tristar thread) |
"Troops in Afghanistan miss James Blunt concert".
So it's not all bad news out there then ;) |
I would have thought
'Troops make it to Afghanistan on 50 year old aircraft with no delays' would be a much more newsworthy article! |
or "ex-Army singer can't tell difference between civvy DC10 and VC10"....
|
James Blunt misses Afghanistan concert - Telegraph
As per the Tri* thread, that looks a bit wide for a VC10!! :hmm: |
'the mix-up was due to “bad organisation, verging on incompetence”.
Sounds like the movers I remember well. |
I thought that their motto was
"Delusions of Adequacy". |
Is it just me or is that article significantly shorter than the rant at RAF aircraft and their crews that was on the web earlier this morning?
|
You're right Pizza, much of the article has been taken down.
|
I wonder why? Any guesses?
|
How many VC10 crews are there? The singers joined 160 soldiers at the Leicestershire airport at 7am for a flight to Helmand on board a chartered aircraft often used by the military to transport troops. |

Lucky escape for Taliban from James Blunt threat | Entertainment | People | The First Post (they make a fair point about Blunt though) |
To be fair I don't think torture is allowed under the Geneva Convention.

Same comment as the Tristar thread:
Not one complimentary comment for Katherine – just goes to show the half glass empty mentality. How sad.:mad::mad: |
Well, I think she's terrific:
The official Katherine Jenkins UK website | KJ.tv There's lovely, isn't it? |
Thanks BEagle:ok:

Just a quick question! why did you start the thread with the heading you did? You obviously have a firm grasp on all things aviation related, what has VC10 crew duty time got to do with this story? Just a thought as well, seems everyone is happy to slag off the movers for a headcount issue, nobody has had a go at the charter company when they could not provide another crew! any reason? Maybe its a realisation things happen and sometimes it cant be helped when it comes to aircraft. Its pretty good we work out of an RAF base with RAF aircraft and the delay is RAF fault Go to a civilian airport with a civilian aircraft and errr its still the RAF fault but its good to know we have the saviour of the world from WW3 to let us all know where we are going wrong. Good on you Mr Blunt! |

I see the article has been edited, so won't elaborate. "At the Blunt end" would have been more apposite. |
