Bulgarian registered Tristars?

[Avman]

Anyone recently seen two Bulgarian registered Tristars, LZ-LCA & LZ-LCB - possibly at SHJ? It seems (but not OFFICIALLY confirmed) that the Bulagarian Civil Aviation Dept is trying to ascertain their true identity because their Bulgarian registrations are allegedly false!

LZ-LCA,LZ-LCB,LZ-LCC,LZ-LCD,LZ-LCO are Tupolev Tu-154's that belong to Bulgarian Air Charter, not L1011's.

They are both old trijets but thats about where the similarity stops.

Thanks, but that's known and that's why these two Tristars are believed to be wearing false registrations if indeed they are registered as such.

From our "friends" at Ostend perhaps...would not be the first time. Not good news at all.

Many other doggy characters at Ostend as well..I thought the Belgian authorities had started to clean up.....guess not. Wonder why... <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Astraeus

Mate, you should at least tell your theory to someone, even the Sunday Times, that's rather a chilling speculation

"Astraeus Wannabe" does sound rather like The Guvnor to me......I smell a rat. Is his new pseudonym conconcted out of a frustrated desire to work for an airline which actually stands a good chance of getting off the ground, I wonder?

Guys what I do not want is yet another post ref the L1011 confined to the bin, keep your inane comments to yourselves or tell the powers to be but dont let another thread degenerate, some of us out here rely on news reference the L1011 cos we are in need of jobs on them and getting threads closed does not help. Keep to the topic in hand I am sure Astreaus Wannabbee is entitled to his or her opinions as well as the rest of them. The news that he/she posts is common knowledge in the L1011 world so don't just think that the Guv is the only one that knows these things, he is not.

OK I could have been wrong then as his posts seem to. have disappeared. Please though let the posts run even just for a couple of days

Just for info, the latest I have from my contact is that the Bulgarian authrorities have refused these two aircraft landing rights in Bulgaria!

I saw a LZ-TPC L1011 in OST in June last year at 4 in the morning. Appeared to be in old LTU colours.. .Dont know if this ties in with the OST connection that someone mentioned earlier in the thread?
