UR-82060 - current status?
Good evening all, as per the thread title, can anyone confirm the current status of UR-82060 please? Is it still flying? I had heard it was undergoing heavy maintenance but, this may have been duff info...

MTIA, RP

Would that be the one I 'cabbed' at Farnborough?

Dunno - it's the world's biggest aeroplane with 6 jet engines. I never saw one at Farnborough but that means nothing really!

I've seen a picture of the 225 landing at SBAC Farnboro' some years back. It was taken using a wide angle lens from the pub carpark on the corner of RAE Rd.

Aluminium Overcast or what?

Can anyone locate it please?

I saw it at Farnborough. When the time came to move it before the display started the towbar broke so it had to start its engines to taxi over to the black sheds.
