Manchester Airport
Hi all, Just watched this old bird (ZS-OSI) depart 24L, original engines, no hushkits! absolutely fantastic! apparently positioned in from Lynham and out to Portugal?
Regards, Steve :E |
Where is Lynham and where is 24L ???
|
Well 24L is at Manchester and a certain DC8 did arrive and I would guess at Lyneham
Did the DC8 go to Portugal or Port of Spain as I am sure I read somewhere it was doing G-I-B |
PF - it is a military (transport) airfield west of London. But that's not important right now.............. :)
|
yep, did a dangerous goods charter to Port of Spain.

Any idea what it was carrying? |
Is Lyneham still going to close (by 2012) ? ...... :confused:
|
Must be carrying dangerous goods for the Cricket world cup! Joking aside, it would be great to see a DC8 into LGW again...nice smoking trail as well. Hope you lucky sods in MAN enjoyed the sound...

Flintoff and Pietersen are our dangerous goods! |
Those were the glory days at LGW but nothing better then a Spantax CV990,
|
Yes a nice clear day no wind and on departure you used to be able to follow them out on 06 and past Congleton and the see as they continued the climb towards Honiley
G-I-B |
Bet the NIMBYs would love that, clapped out DC8 carrying dangerous goods.
Recipe for disaster |
AWR - I know but cannot tell you!

Agree about the smoke trail. Saw one (maybe the same one) leave Newcastle one clear evening a couple of years ago, could follow it for ages. Very occasionally (about once every couple of months) Pulkovo still substitute a Tu154 at Heathrow for their 737. Same effect. |

Think you'll find it has hush kits, aircraft without were banned from European airspace a long time ago. And this one has been operating through various European points quite happily in recent years.

Manchester Questions
DC-10F Supposedly nightstopping at MAN tonight and out around 10.00LT on Wed.
Any idea what she's moving in or out and where from/to? |
Banzai Eagle please be assured AIA do not fly clapped out a/c.
Also any DGR carried by the airline is packed and stowed according to ICAO & IATA regulations. Unless of course you no better !. |
....their loadies being good old ex-RAF types, one would hope that would be the case? :ok:
