Good one, AlanM.
Looks as if the first span of the temp hangar is already underway.

Hangar looked fairly complete from where I saw it. I wasn't paying too much attention to it when I landed but we had a reasonable view of it at Holding point A. Saw it on Sat ~12:30 local.

How did you take that photograph, esp with that crosswind?????

The latest London Airport....

Why should the cross wind affect the camera.?

But a great shot.

Thanks

Jeez.

That shot makes the runway at LCY look HUUUUUUUGGGEE!

And it isn't.

Nice to see the eastern apron extension progressing at such a rate.

Apologies if you're being sarcastic and I'm not getting it, and looking at your profile you're obviously an experienced aviator, but:

At approx 200 ft, on a 5 degree approach slope, and an almost complete cross wind of approx 15 knots, I would have thought both PF and PNF would usually be quite busy and concentrating hard, not taking snaps...

Unless the pic came from a jump seat or altogether different source than an inbound - however it does look to be perfectly on the PAPI...

DW.

It was obviously a jumpseat? as said, pilots are not going to be clicking away on short final.

Well we would hope not.

Beleive it or not this aircraft has been moved across the river Thames on a barge. A tempory hangar is to be erected and the aircraft repaired. Photos on http://www.smiliner.com/news/current.shtml#0706_12

The Swiss RJ100 is now tucked away in its temp hangar.

Saw it as I arrived, with a bump tonight, on a BA RJ100, even the Stewardess remarked it was a "positive arrival" !

Really?

The aircraft was, of course, floated across to the north side of the Royal Albert Dock, not across the Thames. These photos taken just before completion of the hangar:

so anyone know how the landing was completely buggered up?? heard report the "pilot" didnt know that any damage was caused any truth in that?

Anyone know the current state of repairs of this a/c ??

Any more news on this a/c? Are the repairs complete yet, or is it still in-situ?

AFAIK the A/C has left LCY a couple of days ago. The temporary hangar is gone.

Believe the bird escaped about the 5th of December.

That's correct. The aircraft departed 3th Dec afternoon to BSL, where they conducted a C Check. The aircraft is now on the line.

The tent has been removed immediatly because they needed it somewhere in Poland for a broken A320.

hth,

...even the Stewardess remarked it was a "positive arrival" !
Dont'cha love that? Especially as they never seem to remember to compliment the greasers...

Thought I recognized that tent!

Here it is housing Air Europa's 738 at Katowice, see post 136. What next?
