ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital
The above organisation is advertising for charitable donations in some of the UK papers this week. Sounds like a great idea.
www.ukorbis.org Sorry to sound like a SOG but, before I put my hand in my pocket, does anyone know whether this is a charity where most of the donations are put to good use? |
I don't know anything about Orbis (UK), but the US Flying Eye hospital has been operating for over 20 years. First with a DC-8 and now a -10. I would assume the UK branch is on the level, but how efficient it is I couldn't say. Here is an assessment of the parent organization.
But the airplane is definitely real, seen it several times myself. |
Thanks Paper Tiger. Not a particularly good score.
Apparently their DC-10 will be at Stansted between 29/3-9/4 on a goodwill visit. Then it goes to the States for more goodwill visits. Doesn't look as if it is going to do any "real" work until August, although currently in Ethiopia. |
