A sad day indeed

[QTG]

If those boys could talk, there would be some stories. Now they're gone forever. On trucks!

[Rigga]

Sad indeed - they were parked outside my office for almost a year before I left.

[TeeS]

Perhaps you and some others in your office should get writing a book QTG?

Is that G-BUXS going in the bin at last?

[QTG]

How dare you sir? You're talking about the woman I love!

Well, one of them.

That is ex-NLB G-BUXS ��

Sad indeed, but it's good to recall the happy days of ManAv. It was fun and I recall so much pleasure and very little else.

Here's to David! Chinchin.

I "knew" her before she went to the Lighthouses.

[QTG]

G-BUXS, G-NDAA and G-CDBS. The last three.

[md 600 driver]

where have they gone too?

[TeeS]

Hi QTG
I do believe I can claim the first flights on GBUXS after she came out of Rotortech - Oct 7th 1994. She stood in at Cosford for a couple of weeks while we were waiting for GWMAA which replaced GBTHV.

Was that after she was stretched?

[TeeS]

Hi Cyclic
Yep, I can't remember the donor aircraft registration, I think it may have been a PAS machine. Stretching may be a slight misnomer since the 'stretch' was produced by a brand new airframe.

You should take a look in A2B's hangar at Oxford, folks - I thought I would never again see BATC, TVAM or WAAS but there they are, large as life It appears there are plans for them to make yet another trip down south, too.

Please forgive my yank ignorance, but...are those machines really headed for the shredder?

[helihub]

These ex Bond 105s have been sold to the US and shipped out via Southampton and given the "call us for your parts requirements", it looks like it they are to be parted out

[ScotiaQ]

Yep, I can't remember the donor aircraft registration

The donor registration was G-AZTI S/No. 41. Just for info.

Thanks SQ - my memory is fading!
