Harsh but them IOSC can turn their innards into a thin but savoury broth quicktime.
Would be better to use frames now filled with cement and used as a boat mooring

Does any one know the callsign of the Queenair? I have about ten different ones in my logbook.

It was VH-XAT an Excalibur conversion. Awesome aeroplane.... But the wings are due to clap hands next flight according to CASA. So we banish another one from our shores....

Thanks Mr Milk, I have not flown that one.
As a matter of interest.....Australia was the only country in the world that imposed spar life on the Queenairs. The life limit depended on engine size.
I never heard of one crashing anywhere in the world due to spar failure.

I believe CASA has finally lifted it recently

It's not that I won't tell you the price 777, it's that I can't.

They did both sell though
